The phone number has a voicemail (as noted by Big T) with a message of a woman saying quickly, "please leave your fax number after the tone". There's an option to "press 5 to page this person".


I called and left a fax number, but as I'm in the UK I'd be surprised if I got anything from it.


It rang a few times before going to the voicemail - maybe it'll be answered on other occasions like the MTC number.

Just called it. A woman's voice says, "Leave your message after the tone."

I left my number. We'll see.

Edit: I didn't hear the fax part. We'll see if a fax calls my cell.

Hey guys, new here, really interested in this. I think I made a semi big discovery by calling the Russo number?

Quote:

Him: Mike Russo, Milwaukee Tourism Committee.

Me: Hey Mike, this the Mike? Nice to call to talk to you. I'm just calling because I uh, I saw some of your video, and right now I'm actually right in the middle of Sunny Milwaukee.

Mike: Oh, that's great. What district are you in?

Me: Well, I was just walking through, I saw signs that said Sector 19, and Sector 20. I'm wondering if there are Class K resistant apartments in Sector 21? Er, there doesn't look like a lot of people are around.

Mike: Well, um, Sector 21 is currently uninhabitable. It is highly contaminated and covered in uh, Godseed Fragments.

Me: What? What do you mean? I only watched the uh, the first half of your video.

Mike: (yelling off phone: HE'S IN SECTOR 21! HE'S IN SECTOR 21!) Sector 21 is contaminated. It is highly dangerous, especially for teenagers and anyone younger.

Me: What? Huh? I'm 19. Is that old enough to uh, to be safe?

Mike: (Yelling off phone: HE'S 19 AND HE'S IN SECTOR 21!) Son, listen to me. You're in great danger. You need to, to find the biggest flare gun possible.

Me: A flare gun? What? Where am I going to find a Flare Gun? Listen, I just wanted to move to Milwaukee.

Mike: You're in huge danger, I can send you an information packet via email, but there's nothing I can do over the phone that you can't do in real life.

Me: Would it, would it help if I found a fennel?

Mike: (sigh) Son, that's not a fennel, that's a family tree.

Me: Where can I find a fennel, family tree, whatever? I thought I saw some here somewhere.

Mike: Listen, son, I STRONGLY ADVISE you let the family tree remain underground. Do not dig up the family tree.

Me: What happens if I dig up the family tree?

Mike: OH, SURE, DON'T LISTEN TO ME. DON'T LET THE FAMILY TREE STAY UNDERGROUND. DON'T LISTEN TO A MULTIMILLION DOLLAR ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN TELLING YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM SECTOR 21. JUST DO WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT.

Me: Why the fuck did you start an advertising campaign for Milwaukee if it's infected? Jesus, help, I'm-

Mike: WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE-

Me: OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT? WHAT IS THAT THING? OH MY GOD OH MY GOD-


it's not a fennel! it's a family tree!

yeah, but you see that family tree MANY TIMES throughout the video, and the second video on youtube focuses almost entirely on the family tree.

Hold the Fennel up

So if you hold the "tree" up to the sun bad things happen.

What number are you guys calling? When I try to call the travel commission I get an automated message telling me the number I'm trying to reach is no longer in service... Confused

Family Tree

In the video they say they are quoting Voltaire:

Quote:
"Plant your family tree in the arts"


This said during a scene of someone burying a fennel.

I cannot find a Voltaire quote matching this, but I have a meeting and can't really research it.

keep calling, i think they are either very busy with taking calls or they are only answering them every once in a while.
