Show Notes
Transcript

An "expendable" everyman gets recruited for an incredibly dangerous, highly mysterious time travel experiment, and hopes to use the opportunity to save the life of the woman he loved.

Mysterious, horny, and heartfelt in equal measure - Taking Time is a time travel story through the lens of corporate espionage, "accidental" deaths, and dysfunction. All episodes of Season 1 are available now, anywhere you listen to podcasts.

00:00:01.600 --> 00:00:05.799
Hi, I'm Marshall. I'm an aggressively ordinary guy who had

2
00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:09.679
a pretty extraordinary adventure. I got to travel in time

3
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:11.720
and try to save the life of the woman I loved.

4
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:15.839
It was kind of a mess. Some people might say

5
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:19.960
it was sort of like idiocracy. Personally, I find that offensive.

6
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:23.199
I would say it was more like Back to the Future,

7
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:27.519
except maybe I'm not as school as Marty McFly. I

8
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:30.120
would also say it's a little bit like The Notebook,

9
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:35.520
with me as the Ryan Gosling part, minus the apps. Anyway,

10
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:39.200
it kind of happened like this. Our first preference for

11
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:43.079
test subjects was dogs, but dog lovers among the science

12
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:44.840
and engineering staffs objected.

13
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:46.960
Naked.

14
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:51.960
We can only project living beings beings who are completely nude.

15
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:56.200
I took a spacecraft to Mars. Now you have to

16
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.840
be pushing little buttons. Just shut it and push it feeling.

17
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:08.439
So the thing is, we don't actually have an emergency

18
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:09.359
return protocol.

19
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.599
What Who's Samantha Kennedy.

20
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.879
She was a high school friend. She was killed in

21
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:20.000
a car wreck at the end of senior year. Please, Sammy,

22
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:22.239
you can't go to Donnie's Wednesday night.

23
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:27.079
If you do something terrible will happen. Oh you're psychic.

24
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:28.200
Now you know the future.

25
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:30.879
They'll kill you, Sammy.

26
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:33.359
If it known that that's where this whole time travel

27
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:37.040
thing was headed, Marshall never would have gotten on the

28
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:39.879
bus from Voyage Media, pretty sure.
