Welcome to another episode of T-Rex Talk, the official podcast of T-Rex Arms. My name is Isaac Botkin,

0:07.7

and I'm the only one talking to you on this episode, which is going to be very short and sweet,

0:13.1

because technically all I'm going to do is explain to you what happened to the Lost episode.

0:20.3

So today is September 16th, and earlier today at 4.30 p.m.

0:24.4

we did a normal live broadcast, um, which we've been, you know, relatively good at doing every week.

1:28.8

I should note that it is against YouTube's terms of service to demonstrate how to build a firearm.

1:37.0

In our defense, we were not building a firearm, we were merely assessorizing a firearm, but

the phrase, build out a rifle and build a rifle are pretty similar.

1:46.4

And when the YouTube folks took a look at the live stream, they decided that it violated

1:51.2

their terms of service and killed the live stream.

1:53.9

Now, to be fair to YouTube, they have to have a much lower tolerance for live streams
