a little bit more,
1657
01:23:45,067 --> 01:23:47,361
and this would be the ultimate challenge.
1658
01:23:47,444 --> 01:23:50,989
If I were to be put in that situation,
1659
01:23:51,073 --> 01:23:53,200
I would be able to survive.
1660
01:23:53,283 --> 01:23:56,787
I could get out of that.
That would never happen to me.
1661

McKamey Manor, I'm coming for you.
1662
01:23:58,872 --> 01:24:02,417
Drown me, beat me, torture me.
1663
01:24:02,501 --> 01:24:05,796
I'm here for all of it.
And my kids are gonna watch all of it.
1664
01:24:05,879 --> 01:24:09,842
The manor is safe, it's fun,
1665
01:24:09,925 --> 01:24:13,762
and it will take you to your limit.
