Last time on no latency. He said he was doing
investigating but. Well, they're investigating
what? And they wanted me to take a
look at some of the security footage.
It's something like that should. Probably find retro before the
next match. Oh right, that that was the
mission I forgot. I'm scared if we have to go up
against them. Do you know who has very good
persuasion skills? And money.
Wow. I would be anything for my
friend. I believe that.
Would you lose for me? Would you give me 10,000 eddies?
Fuck. It sure I just took loads of
coke. Let go, spend those money.
My God. Come on, we're going to go to
the VIP. Petro, this is $1000.
Cigarette of about the smoke. This is bullshit.
I blow chat a kiss. One thing's for sure, I made
double my money. Fuck.
Sorry, Retro, maybe next year's Pug bowl you.
Think this is over? You think you've won?
Duh, duh, duh, duh. That's what you sound like.
Oh my God. I got more money.
And just like that, I'm, I'm, I'm $600.00 rich.
Well, yes, I suppose $300.00 richer, but I have 600 total. 7.
150 * 2. 15. 100. $1500 Let's go.
Trauma team is 1.6. Oh, times 1.6.
You have 1120 eddies floating and your 10K bet is still locked
in Jeb. You've won 480 eddies currently.
Wow. All right, I say.
That ain't bad, but a little less than I originally thought.
But that's fine. It's fine, you know.
Betting is fun. Betting is fun and probably bad.
That's right. That's right here the.
Next match is in 10 minutes, Bombat Zone versus Biotechnica.
Betting is not. Betting is terrible.
It is a sin. You should all be ashamed of
yourselves. We had no latency.
Would like to let you know to gamble responsibly and if you
need help please call a number. The hotline, look it up.
I don't know. Your local Your local gambling
advice choice helpline will be in the description.
But here in the dark sequel full.
Breaking moment, please. Take care of.
Yourselves mental health is really important.
Thank you, Tracy. All right.
This is the moment, though. This is the moment.
Biotechnica versus the Tower Sirens.
No, this is combat. Oh yeah, this is not the moment.
I stayed the moment. All right, this one I'm not
going to bet on. I'm sitting out.
I'm going to get a drink, smoke my RGB cigarette.
Let me know who wins. It is the thing about this
cigarette you're noticing, Phoebe, is it's taking like 8
times longer to smoke. It's very well packed, it burns
really slow, it's really smooth and it's probably going to last
you through the next match and you just feel amazing.
I'm going to enjoy this. I'm going to enjoy this you'd.
Never enjoy it. This is this is Biotechnica.
And you, you're not out here rooting all.
Right. Yeah, Yeah.
OK, I'll, I'll go sit in the stands.
Go Vendel Retro. Are you OK?
You look really angry. I'm fine.
No problem man. Retro guys, Retro is not going
to be fine for the rest of the roller Derby.
It's so hard, like being friends with sore losers.
Oh my. OK, that's it.
Oh God. Iona, you just pulled the
fucking pin. Oh no.
What is he going to do? I don't.
Know oh, he's going to he's going to throw a grenade.
I think it does the pin. I'm going to walk out of the VIP
area and I'm going to go with all of my tombs in the coop and
get everybody together. I'm going to bring them all
together. Hey, hey, everybody come here.
Hey, Charlie. What is your root robe?
Hey, guess what? What?
I know what it's terrible that we lost, especially to the windy
towers. Yeah, God, those guys fucking
suck. They were horrible, but I found
something out. This whole thing is rigged.
What? What?
Hold on, what? It's they cheated, they cheated
and they purposely took out chick the combat zone.
Oh my God that makes so much sense.
Like how else could they possibly even like compete with
with us? Cock a doodle Doo motherfucker.
Really. 100% cock a doodle Doo. Check this out and on my face.
I'm going to play the scene. Oh shit, Oh my God, You know, if
you showed that to like the referee, it probably would make
a difference. I'm just a fan, right?
Fellow fan guy? I mean, I don't know if it's
maybe it's a whole conspiracy and it's all we need to talk.
It goes. That's what Heiner was saying we
need. To riot.
I agree. Good thing.
Good thing I brought my my my little tiny little butter knife.
Hell yeah. Oh yeah, that's.
A little sharp. I sharpened it earlier.
Today very very sharp butter knife.
It's super sharp. Thank you.
Super, super sharp. All right, we're going to go.
And before this match goes, we're going to riot.
We want we want retribution. We lost money.
On retribution. We lost money on this.
They stole money from us. How many more of these have they
cheated on? I'm pretty sure that's illegal.
The referee passes you to go and get a drink in the VIP.
It just literally what's right possible.
I'm going to grab that zebra. I'm going to pull a mower.
Oh mate, please don't touch me. No.
No, no, I want to know why you're allowing cheaters to ruin
this pug bowl and take our team out.
Obviously we were we were the top contender and we got shafted
and we and we had money stolen and you guys are part of this
entire conspiracy. Steal money.
Who, who, who, Who cheated? This is the first time I'm
hearing this. Who cheated?
I'm going to play it on it on my face.
Look at that. Roll persuasion.
It's so obvious, just take a look ref.
Why are they talking like that? You tell him, Charlie.
That's a That's a rooster fan for you, A natural rooster fan.
You roll 23, that is definitely high enough to keep this red 24.
Apologies. Yes, that's right, you have that
boat smashed. And he looks at this screen and
sees himself in the background of this footage.
It's almost like I should do a weapon inspection.
If anyone's got something weird attached to their weapon,
they're going to be in trouble. Now I'm going to go and check
all the teams. You should do that.
Yeah, man, I for a second there I thought he was going to
inspect my weapon. Good thing he didn't, because
this thing, oh, man. Roller Derby reference roller
Derby. I love roller Derby.
Put my feet. It's so good.
We we know everything about roller Derby.
Me and this guy. Yeah, absolutely.
So if there's any team out there that has illegal modifications
that are weapons, then that's that's bad.
I, I, I think Retro is trying to sabotage us.
I have to go. All right.
I am going to speed walk around the opposite side of where the
Roosters are so Retro doesn't quite see me.
You see the referee go around the other side.
You know what I don't think Retro does to you?
Retro's too involved in what they're doing right now.
They're showing. They're showing it to everybody
that's not in VIP and they're like, they stole your money,
they stole your money. We need to get riot, riot, Riot.
Riot. And you and you hear retro fade
into the background as you walk to the other side of the
building. Iona, you come to the front of
the locker room for the biohazards.
I knock. The door bursts open and there
is Vendel, wide eyed and coped to fuck.
Hi. Hi.
Vendel, I need, I need your. I need your combat traveler.
Sure, here. You.
Go. I gotta get this fucking thing
off. Roll for it.
Better be good. I did a good job on that one.
You did, but you didn't say anything about securing it.
True. Just.
That it didn't work. Let me think about this for a
second. What?
Are you trying to do? Oh well, there, there has
something has come up and I need to take this off of your combat
shovel. Oh, do you need the Taser?
You know what? I feel really, really strong
right now. Can I have a go?
Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.
And Vendel grabs the Taser off the handle and goes to just
fucking rip it off. They try and RIP it off the
front of it with their hands and do nothing.
They place their leg against the middle of the shovel, grab the
Taser and pull as hard as they can.
Oh no, they didn't bend the shovel, did they?
It depends on how well they roll.
Let's see, I would like to do OK, I'll rope brawling for that.
22 That is a great roll. That's a really good roll.
Vendel pulls the Taser off the shovel and they've rolled high
enough that's higher than a professional roll.
No, sorry, a heroic roll, which is 21, and they RIP it off and
they hold it in their hands. That's weird.
There's no battery in this. What?
Why is there no battery I? Don't know bigger, Richard just
forgot. Here you go.
Thank you. I'm I put it in my bag.
And Vendel spins the shovel around their arm and puts it
over their shoulder. Look, I'm like Phoebe.
You are like VV, all right, Hot Wheels, you've got this.
I've got this guy's truck. It's a nice slam the door you
you see the referee come around the corner and walk up to to
check. Trauma team goes in there to
check it. It looks like you've done this
just in time. You are standing there, facing
there holding a Taser with no battery.
No, I put it in my bag. All right, the.
All concealed reveal object. Sure I will.
I sure will, aha. 16 good enough?
Yes, very good. He's not paying attention, he's
only looking for players and you see him leave the trauma team
area and he heads over to his last destination, which is the
combat zone. No one tried to tell them and
you hear a little bit of shouting, bit of commotion and
the referee comes out and suddenly his voice is booming
over the time. I have an announcement.
Everyone, please, everyone, calm down.
You with the TV for a head? Can you stop shouting?
Stop. No.
Yeah, this might you might want to hear this guy with the TV
head That guy over there, they pointed this out so ever all the
combat zone team. I just need you to know this is
the most honest fan out there. He showed me the footage and I
found. It he holds up this thing look
and he points it into the crowd and pushes a button and it fires
a track dart. It hits this random guy and that
guy falls over the table and lands in the ground.
Illegal, no projectile weapons in the role.
It's going to be everyone, I'm sorry to say.
The combat zone cannons are disqualified.
And most of the room gets really quite happy about it, because no
one really likes them. Let's go.
This means, of course, that they are the competition, everyone.
This changes the bracket just a little bit.
Once the CZC is outed as cheating, the existing points
are respected. They are considered the loser of
the first match. The winner of Game 3 takes their
place. The other is placed in the
winner of the losers bracket. The competition continues.
Those are the rules, everyone. Those are the rules.
This means that of course the Roosters are back in the game.
Everyone. The Roosters.
And we get our money back from those two bastards, right?
From the last match because that one seemed pretty Christy to me.
If you don't give me my money back, I will get this crap back
at all around. I'm I'm just the referee, my
guy. That's not my responsibility.
You'll have to take it out with management.
And so the Roosters and Drama team will fight again for their
right to go against the only person who hasn't been
eliminated tonight, the Biohazards.
I'm going to make a quick stop all the way back to the manager.
All right, as you pass a betting machine betting starts, you head
over to where the manager is and the rest of the crew go to set
their bets as you head towards his office.
What are you guys betting Game 5?
Well, I mean, obviously on my, on my boat, on my, my, my, wait,
who's playing? Roosters versus Trauma team
Roosters. Versus trauma team, it's it's
once again the same, the same dilemma, Jeb, the same dilemma.
It's a rematch. Hold on.
I'm going to close my hands. I'm going to close my ass, Reach
deep inside my psyche. Who's talking?
To me, Iona. Iona.
Iona is the unexpected voice and I love it.
Go Yes, Jeb. You need to be fiscally
responsible. What does that mean?
Place all your money on trauma team.
That's true. That's what won me last time.
See Iona, I always trust you with the things to do with money
and. I'm very good with money.
Yep, and and also like biology tap stuff but that's kind of not
really come into play too much. I do.
I do have a a master's degree. Yeah, see, that's why I always
trusted you with with things I had to do with masters.
In microbiology, yes. All right, well.
Goodbye. Excuse me, booking computer.
Jeff. Oh wait, hold on.
What's Who's that? Jeff.
Who's there? Retro up.
With your heart back with your friendship.
Whose friendship matters most? You're right, Retro, you're
absolutely right. And I open my eyes with a, with
a burst of, of friendship in my heart, and I walk over and I
slip my, my card into the, my, my chip into the bookie machine.
And I put all of my money on trauma Team.
All the money. All of the money that you've got
on your card, I mean 480. Let's go.
Now Trauma Team is 1.6 for this match.
And that's how it's going to be, yeah.
Can I can I add to my overall win bet or is that closed?
You can make another overall win bet, but that one is locked.
That one is locked. Can I put down another?
Let me look at my money. Can I put down 2000 on the
biohazards to win for the second?
$1000 on the. Biohazards or Trauma team or.
This is for overall win. For overall win, OK.
You've put another 2000 into the biohazards.
Their odds have not changed because they have not played
yet. So it's still 1.9.
I will put the money that I just won back into this game and put
it on Trauma Team. Cool.
How much is that? That was 1120 and 20 eddies.
You have 1120 for Trauma team to win game five, Yeah.
This is a this is a risky bet because look, the Roosters are
coming back from this like momentum, momentous moment and.
It's big. All right, we're going to do our
best. Iona you look over at VV as they
finish their bet. They pull their card out and you
go to pull your card out. The machine prompts you if you
want to bet on the next match, a pop up if you like.
It's obnoxious. In order to pull your card, you
have to close the window. I did win some money on the last
Biohazard game because I put 200 down.
Yeah. So you have 400.
I'll I'll put 300 on Trauma team to win this match.
Retro You make it outside to the office and you're standing
outside. Pound on the door.
Bam bam, bam bam. The the the guy who runs the
place opens the door once again and there is Herbert in front of
you. Herb, Herb.
Herb. Hey, how's it going, TV guy, I
remember you. Yeah, very upset.
Hey man, fucking wild. What the what?
The referee just said you believe.
It. Comments on cheating fuck.
What you said wasn't going to happen.
What? No one?
No one had proof? Someone showed the ref proof.
That's how this works. I did.
I found it. Oh.
Who's he? You.
Oh, cool. Oh, right.
Wait one second. What was it?
He closes the door in your face and comes back out.
Wait. Wait, man.
Oh, here you go. So here's 50 eddies for for
catching a cheater. That's the proof.
That's how we work here. Great, I love that there's a
bounding system on this. What about the money I lost
during the bets for this illegal betting?
Oh, you have to submit a form for that.
We'll get back to you in about a week.
I want it now. I can't give money out until the
pug bowl is over. The system literally won't let
me. So you.
Need to give to me that money and then if I lose it, I lose
it. What was your I mean, look, I
need your betting key. I need to see your bets like oh,
all right, every. Loss was tainted by the bet, so
that means. It looks like you put 300 on the
Roosters. You lost that.
OK, well then I can give you 300 back.
That's all I got for you, man. What about against the trauma
team? That wouldn't have happened if
they hadn't cheated. And I'll tell you this right
now, if you don't give it back to me now, I will get.
From a team. What happened?
Sorry, No, I'm looking at your bets on the chip and it says you
bet 300 on the Roosters in the game one and you lost that
because they lost to combat zone.
All the others have nothing to do with combat zone.
I can't give you the money back according to the the terms and
conditions. OK, I'll give you 300 back.
I can give it to you cash if you want, or I can put it on the
chip. That's up to you.
I get it, These things happen. I'm sorry.
I'm glad that they got caught before the end because I don't
want to give some dipshit a nice trophy.
Yeah, that's totally fair. I'll take the 300.
How do you want it? You want it on the chip or do
you want your money? Just give it on the chip, that's
fine. OK.
All right, thanks. Hand me your chip.
I'll put it in the computer right now.
Awesome. Great.
He grabs your chip and he doesn't close the door.
He goes with the computer, shoves it in, does the thing and
pulls it back. If there's any office supplies
around. There's a a tablet on the desk.
Some pencils and anything like that around.
You know what, I'm going to roll for it because I don't want to
say, oh dude, that's A2. No, there's no pencils in there.
The most the most cyberpunk. Tool of them all, yeah.
So you get your 300 back for the bet that you lost in the first
match. I'll fill out the form, fill it
up. So I missed the betting thing
and I'll thank you. That's fine.
So here's your form. Hey by the way.
Hey, betting's still open. Did you want to bet for someone?
I got the chip in the machine. No, it's all right.
I'm I will wait for for for the next one to bet.
Hey I just want to know how do you spell your name again?
Herbert. Herbert's last name again.
Sandspire. Sandspire, All right.
We ready for this, this, this shooting stuff to go up on the
garden. I'm sure everybody will be
interested in that. Cool.
See you later. Oh yeah, no, I'm super excited.
Our referee caught it before the competition was over and then it
doesn't taint everything. Fuck dude, that's so awesome.
You are in that 50. He.
Closes the door, he seems nice and you step back into the room.
You still have two minutes to bet if you want to I.
Don't want to bet? You're going to bet on the
Roosters. I'm not betting on this one.
All right, hold me up. I got a roller die.
Yeah, All right.
I guess I'm betting. Fuck.
What are you betting? 2000.
Game five 2000 for the Roosters to win at 1.5.
And betting is closed. Retro.
You walk back over to the rest of the crew as they gather
outside of VIP. Hey.
Jeff, come on, let's go. All right, let's go.
Come on, let's get in, because I know.
Oh. Jeff, have you got Chisner
snaps? You should be sharing mate.
And and, and I've got another one of them, one of them, just
just here. You want anyone to see it?
You want to see it? Oh, wait.
Hold. On one SEC.
One SEC Oh. That's spicy.
Is this torture? Drugs.
Yeah, you can just hear the two and Paul. 11 DV of this shit is
13 no? So for the next 15 minutes you
have +1 to reflex, but after 15 minutes you lose one from your
reflex, which means until you sleep you now can't dodge
bullets. Unless unless I get a little one
and drink that one when I need. Exactly and and Jeb is now
fairly drunk and is following you around Retro as the next
match begins. I'm going to I'm actually going
to go hang out with all my peeps in the coop for this one.
Nice. Oh, that's fine.
I'm going to hang out with all my friends and the urgent care.
I don't know. What do you think they call it?
It's cute, I like that. Deb, you don't want to come join
the coop. And, and, and now there's a
moment where Jeb is sitting there and he looks over and.
And Phoebe? Is over there with like all of
the all the fans and then the. Cool people.
Looks over and then there's Retro, all of his fans.
Yeah, come on. We all, we're all, we're all
Rooster fans over here. We all, we all want them to win,
right? You want the Roosters to win,
right? Yeah, yeah.
I I want, I want the Roosters to win.
You want the Roosters to win, right?
Yeah, I I put my money on on the rooster.
Yeah, Retro. I'm coming.
I'm coming, I'm coming. All right.
Yeah, Yeah. Betting is closed and their
match is about to begin and everybody get wild.
I'm. Wild.
Coops going wild. Folks, welcome to dungeons and
Randomness. Since 2012 myself and an amazing
cast of 18 have been telling stories in our home brewed world
of Theria. Four different groups explore
lost ruins, run for political office, Rage Against a mad king,
set sail to long forgotten islands and so much more.
Every group has a different story and flavour, and every
season or arc has a new set of groups and stories, all building
the history of our world with every single session.
Literally hundreds of hours of stories are waiting for you as
part of the Pickaxe network. Check out Dungeons and
Randomness wherever you get your podcasts and we'll see you
around the table. And the green light says go and
the spread begins. Oh amazing as the Roosters
blockers take an early lead. Come on, Trauma Team.
Oh Phoebe, I I did put money on trauma team.
I knew you made the right choice, Iona.
They're going to win. Looks like the jammers are
really really stepping up with exactly the same all.
Right. Come on, Roosters.
Let's come on. We can do this.
I was able to get you back in. Come on.
I fought through fire and flame. Let's do this.
Jabber gets a hit on Trauma Team, landing the first point of
this return game. One point they're really
fighting for it after they got eliminated and brought back by a
very, very, very cool fan. Come on, Trauma team.
Lose. Take a dive.
To our trauma team takes a. Hit.
They're doing fine, right? They're they're rapidest.
Yeah, they'll they can come back.
Is Chad still? Which one is Chad again?
Oh shit. Yeah, there's Chad right there.
Look at him. He's got that smile.
Before Chad comes back, I'm going to talk to the the Coop.
I'm on my left now. Whoever's got if there's a
female fan there that has lipstick on, a really thick
lipstick, try to match VVS that I can put a couple of lipstick
marks on on my screen. All right, roll human perception
to get that to happen. Oh my God.
Well, not. Not only do you have to find
this person, you also have to convince them to put their lips
on your screen. So this is a 21.
It's a heroic move. All right.
It depends on his game. My game is good do.
You have the rizz, as kids would say.
Roll for Rizz 14. No, it was a 21.
I did say that you do. You do not find someone to do
so. Ohio Rizz.
Exactly. Oh, trauma teens rabbit rolls a
grid fail, and that's another point for the rooster.
Rooster one point that's two to nothing.
Oh great, successes on that lap, holy shit.
Oh man. Am I going to lose money I don't
really want? Oh, and that rabbit rolls a crit
success. The team rolls a stalemate on
that lap and nobody actually scores, but the tension is
rising. I don't want to lose money, I.
There's still hope. There's still hope.
Charlie Good song with that good 10.
Roosters rolling £2 fails. Oh, the rabbit rolls a quid.
Success. Come on, Dennis Scott, Come on.
Leaving the. Roosters rabbit wide.
Open, leaving the Roosters rabbit wide open and let's be
real, that's 2 great fails and the success which means the
Roosters lose a point. Trauma team gets their first
point on the board and this game is getting trauma.
Oh yeah, now we ain't going to dance.
Trauma team flinching into the blocker, really, really getting
it in there. And they are two to two.
This game is getting interesting.
It's currently all tied. They pulled it in starting.
Towards the win How does the the chant go?
Towers rise, sirens call. What is it?
No baby, nothing. Like a phoenix, we will fly.
Let's go Roosters. We are now the Phoenix.
I it's not looking good. Oh.
Trauma Tea rolling on that one and they lose their time.
Trauma Tea 14, their win, it looks like they're I'm really
hungry now that they're back in the game.
Trauma teams take the leads. Chad, Chad, I'm sorry that I I
threw something at you earlier. Do better.
Come on, Chad. Best team ever, Chad.
Best do it for me, Chad. Do it for VV.
Oh God. I was about to say something
that might be bad. That's not.
I know I didn't. I didn't say it.
Oh, Roosters, crit flail on that
blocker. The rabbit only rolls 8.
That's definitely a hit. And we're back to a tie with
three to three Roosters. One board scores tie.
Yes, yes, Chad. Chad Chad Rock'n'roll
Rock'n'roll Chad. Your role play is enough that
Chad gets a + 1 to this role. Bullshit.
He. He.
Rolling up 12, their rabbits right out at the front and the
Roosters are going to have to defend this one.
Will wheat and roll? Will wheat and roll.
Let's go Chad. Let's go 2.
Crit fails and quit. One for success, but that's not
enough. Everybody and the Trauma Team
tower, Cyrus one boy, that point for Trauma Team, if they manage
to clinch this last lap, they are the winner and they'll be
going through to the final merge boy.
I I think I've become too emotionally invested in this.
Chad literally rolled a crit. He's blocker 2 that's 17.
You watch Chad, you watch Chad grab his jammer friend, whip
them around his body and and you see him do like a really expert
for him. Don't.
They just pull a tractor trailer where they actually re whip the
rabbit using the. No, they whipped their jammer
towards the rabbit and you watch this jammer glide forward, fish
their way through two other people and just fucking smack
the rabbit in the back of the head that that rabbit falls
slightly forward. The point score goes off, gains
five points. Win this match and the crowd
goes fucking wild. Good job, Chad.
We're doing amazing. Good job.
She likes me. Fuck you.
Chad, our hero. And there's only one more match
for the Park Ball. It was great to see a fair match
happen down here at the Park Ball.
Let's give everybody a round of applause for the Roosters for
coming back and playing. Good round of.
Applause when you hear the whole crowd like goes mad.
Everyone's giving them like as they come out of the things,
people are giving them high fives and you can tell that the
team themselves, it just happened.
They just had a good time. The Roosters aren't really that
they want that aggressive. They want that mean this is all
just meant to be a friendly game anyway and now that everybody
knows that combat zone, we're cheating.
All the other teams seem to just be a bit more into just playing
and having fun and you it's more the fans that are pissed off as
the fans around Retro are just pissed that they have lost.
Does does Chick have a concussion now because they got
smacked in the back of the head chick?
Does have a very obvious concussion, but they are
surrounded by medical professionals so you're fairly
certain they're going to be fine.
They're a bit woozy, but they're being held and everything's
groovy and awesome. Well, we did it.
Trauma team advanced. I won some of my money back.
Yeah, you and. Your betting chips go off.
And who did you bet on, Jeb? Well, I bet on the whip.
Is your ship growing to you? Well, you see, I just kind of
went into my mind palace, which apparently is going to be a
ongoing bit that I'm going to do now for the rest of the show.
And I talked to the the mental projections of my friends,
including you this time actually.
And I, I made the choice that felt right to me.
I will do what feels right Deb do.
What feels right? Actually I just, I just thought
I heard the mental projection of of Iona talking to me just now.
You can hear me in your head. Oh, wait.
Oh, that's just the comps. My mistake.
And you check your betting chips, everyone.
And Iona, you gained 480, Jeb you gained 768.
And Vivi, you have 1792. Eddies, I can afford another
cigarette and. You just want another one,
that's fine. Here you go.
Thank you. Oh my God.
Literally, I would make, I would make more money not picking this
up off the ground as I walked down the street.
Do you know what I mean? I'm so rich.
What's it like being that rich where things that would be a
convenience for us would be an inconvenience for you?
Life becomes kind of a playground.
I have a very, very loose sense of reality.
It's that. Don't you love the collector?
The collector. There's an enigma.
An enigma. Completely.
Oh. Enigma.
That's what I'm going to call my next dog.
And he walks away. My God.
All right, who's next The. Final match is about to begin.
Get your bets in everybody. It's the Biotinenica bio versus
versus the Trauma Team Tower. Sonar.
This is big. Chad versus Vendel.
Who's going to win? You mean Chad versus Hot Wheels?
Right hot. Wheels.
Hot betting will close in 5 minutes.
All right, Retro, who you going to root for?
Your team's out. I.
Don't know why you're talking to Retro.
Retro actually just left the stadium.
Oh. Retro's gone.
Hi, I guess. Retro.
Oh well. You call you call Retro on comms
and you can hear him being grumpy outside and complaining.
God damn it, motherfucker. Retro, are you coming back or
you gone OK? Why won't this light?
But I'm going to fucking turn this into a God damn trash can
fire. All right, I'm going to.
Retro Are you smoking the Are you smoking one of the like the
collective cigarettes? No, I just hit that in my TV
head for now. OK.
Well, I, well, unfortunately I put all my, I mean, I could
obviously change it, but I, I'm putting all my money in
Biotechnica. I really do hope that you guys
win. I am loyal to the Trauma team,
but I'm loyal to Van Bell. So here's hoping for the best.
Trauma team is currently at 1.7 and biohazards have bumped down
to 1.8. I will put the 480 I have on my
chip into all hazards for this match.
Cool. Can't.
Believe I lost $4000 on this. Oh my God.
I just updated my bank account right now.
Oh. God this isn't that awful
looking at your bank account after gambling so much.
Remember, listeners, gamble responsibly.
I own his bet 480 on the biohazards.
Anyone else doing any bet? I'm going to keep the money I
won for just just 1/2. Rainy day, so you've got 1792
which you can't take out until the competition is over, but it
is technically on the. OK.
I'm going to just bank that at the end.
Bank. And Jeb is going to very
specifically not bet anything. Interesting, Interesting choice,
Jeb. Well, well, you see, I had a
moment and I realized that, you know, you don't have to bet.
You don't have to bet at all. You can just take what you got
and you can invest, invest in, invest, invest in something that
you know is going to grow and gain value over time.
You know, like Dogecoin. A note to our listeners, don't
don't invest in crypto. Don't invest in invest.
In Retro Coin coming out next month.
Yes, that's definitely a thing that doesn't exist.
We do not actually have retro coin to a moment of.
Clarity while out there trying to start a fire in a trash can
because he wanted to throw it through the the doors and
instead comes back inside and heads to the locker rooms and
goes to Biotechnica. Hi.
Hi, I am thanks ha ha.
Yes, sure. For.
Sure. You really want to win?
Don't. You, yes.
That would make you happy, right?
Super happy. I'm really happy right now.
I don't know why. OK, let me see your skates.
What? I didn't hear what you said
because Jeb talked at the same time.
Let me see your skates. OK, and they take their skates
off fast than you've ever fucking seen and they hand them
to you. Here you go.
All right, I'm going to upgrade their skates using what little
scrap I have, plus some extra oil to make sure that their
blades will glide faster and that they are better protected
against somebody trying to shoot them with a fucking dart or just
pretty much, oh, just up armor. And so even if they took a bat
to their ankle, they can't break it.
Oh, nice. So you've like reinforced the
ankle things like ankles, dude. Yeah, roll for it.
Like a bajillion, I'm sure. I actually, I literally almost
put everything away because I was so upset.
Oh. Wow.
That's a role that you I don't see upgrade very often.
That's 23. Yeah, you upgrade these skates,
they are now really fucking good and they give plus one to move
until the oil runs out. And I'm, I'm just going to look
at Vendell eye to eye. I didn't do this.
You didn't see me do this. I did not do this.
Wow. These drugs are really good.
Wild. An imaginary retro cool.
And they close the door in your face.
And then Retro heads back inside.
I'm not. I'm not watching this charade.
It's just a few moments before the match.
Does anyone else do anything else?
I'd like to I'd like to try to go into VIP again.
Is there anyone else in VIP already?
Yeah, Iona and VV is in VIP. Don't let the and the collector.
And shark. And sharks in here, but he's not
paying any attention to you. He's he's holding his head in
his hands because he's losing so much.
He's he's, he's, he's lost a lot of money because he's spent.
A lot of money. No one asked him but he he
better go on combat zone so he's not having a good day.
Oh, so this? In fact, he's so pissed off he's
actually on. He's walking out.
Fuck. It I'm I'm an important MPC but
not one talk to me. So this he's for sure to me now.
So as he's walking out, excuse me, you're gonna can I take
your, your VIP spot? My my friends are in there.
Fucking fuck. Time.
Thank you. Have a great day.
Yeah, get. Fucked.
OK, well, rude, all right. And I walk into the VIP.
Do you? Have a ticket?
I got this one right here. He scans the barcode.
Well, this place is pretty nice. They got an open bar in here or
what? Well, I mean it, it's you still
have to pay, but they've got special drinks in here.
Jim, look. They got one of them, one of
them Spirit fucking. What are they called?
Jesus Christ. Hey, asking for a Beethoven's
Fifth. Oh, OK, my my friend Retro says
that you make a mean Beethoven's Fifth.
Now we've got only certain drinks today.
I'm sorry, that was last week. We've got Glosyn's Martinis,
Jizzner Ale and also I can sell some other.
Stuff, but you'd have to roll for that.
Well, I suppose I could do that. I haven't rolled too much other
than some resist torture drugs this time, so I think it's worth
a roll. What am I doing?
Rob Persuasion. Sure. 20 That beats the DV of
17. That ain't too bad.
I always have synth color. Oh, do you?
Well, you know, personally that's not exactly my cup of
tea. I'm more of a hard alcohol kind
of kind of person. Or for retro, the.
The synth the the the glow synth martinis, they do make you a lot
more personable. Wow you don't say.
People have been saying that I'm annoying so maybe this will make
me. Less annoying.
Listen to them, you still are annoying.
Well, that's probably true. And you had to have forty 80s
and they hand you this beautiful glow since martini.
What? Team, are you supporting?
Just about 10. I don't know, what do you think?
Well, there are only two teams left.
Well, yeah. I have.
Or the trauma team tower. Sirens.
But like, what do you feel like you know?
Well, it's essentially do you want your drink to be yellow?
Or blue. Oh well, I want them to be blue.
You got it and they make your drink blue.
Well, thank you. I appreciate that.
What does this mean? Which team am I supported then?
Trauma Team. Blue.
Oh well, all right, I can think of 1 little lady is going to be
excited about this. And as you sip this drink, it is
an expensive alcoholic drink that is otherwise harmless.
It is not easy to get. It has to be made by someone
who's very talented. It's one of the few places
you're going to be able to get this bomb is just really good.
And as you sip it, you gain plus one to persuasion for the next
15 minutes. That ain't too.
Bad betting has closed. The final match is about to
begin. It's time.
Who goes first? Well, it's it's trying evens.
It is the Biotechnicus. I'm like sweating both both Jade
and Iona. Sweating.
This is almost as stressful as when we shot Retro out of a
spaceship. I'd say so.
The teams are at the line and the green light says go go go,
and even after the first roll it looks like there's an extreme
lead for the Biohazards with their All Star Rabbit tonight
Vendel. All the.
Way up at the front of the line. Looks like they've got a really
early lead that gives them tasty leads as they're about to get
into contact with Eminent. Hot Wheels, Hot Wheels.
Hot Wheels. Jeb, you're now considerably
drunk. You've had quite a few
beverages. The Trauma Team's route is
lagging behind when the Crip failed.
Looks like those jammers are going to get close in the next
lap when the carnage begins. Don't forget that you can ask
Vendel to do their special move whenever you want.
I'm waiting. Good.
I have it locked and loaded. Don't you worry, I didn't
forget. Oh, don't you?
Oh, don't you worry, I didn't forget.
Oh. Dramaty rolling a crip failed
with the jammer who lags behind giving a little bit of an open
for the jammers on Bio Technica's team.
The Biohazards clinched their first point of the game as the
one point this spread knee tight.
Spread knee tight. You get it.
And I and I nudge Yeah, you get
it, You get it reread because we just like, you know.
Yes, I get it. Crit fail and even that great
success on the jammer side is not good enough because the
jammers roll higher and they lose another point and biotech
biohouses one boy chasing the lead, getting closer to that win
to win the part. Balls tonight at 2:00 to
nothing. Wow.
This is. And they don't call them hot
meals for nothing. This.
Might be a quick match. E Biotechnical.
Yet another crit success. Holy.
Shit, Biotechnica wants this win.
Go biohazards. Go biohazards.
And everyone in the VIP area is surprised as they watch Iona
start to do one of the chants. Oh, that's two crit fails for
for Trauma team Holy. Shit, oh jammer down blocker
down there, getting back up, but that's another opener.
And now one point. This is going to be a white two
critic successes but bio hasn't been rabbit rolled a crit
success 18 of holy shit. Almost laughed in the backhand
of the jammers. Holy shit is trauma team able to
do anything to defend the situation?
I don't know, will they? The hazard is no bio hazard.
One point and this is the last. That's point of the game.
That's Point Vendel. Comes round to the third lap and
you hear over your communicator. Do it now.
It's the play shape. Baby.
And as two of the blockers come up behind Vendel, I'm not
rolling for the team on this. You're going to work for this.
Great as. Two jammers come up behind
Vendel. Then they'll take the shovel and
shoves it into the ground, scraping the foe wood and
creating a big shave of this material as it curls into a
large ball. It turns and it twists and it
starts to look like a tumbleweed.
Then they'll flicks the ball of light balsa like wood floating
through the air at speeds, scrapes the shovel against the
metal curve of the rink and flicks the sparks across the
air. As they catch the wood mid air.
They throw the ball back with a big swing.
It smacks straight into one of the jammers, leaving it open.
And this is the moment where the team has a chance to win their
final point. Does it land?
Oh my God. Was that illegal?
What am I rolling? Whatever you want.
We're going to roll brawling, but I'm going to put Olivendo's
luck into it, which is only two luck points, yeah.
But. But two points nonetheless. 2.
Luck. All right, Hot Wheels, here we
go, 20. 4. 2424 is literally. Listed.
As incredible you watch this ball fire cascade through the
air, leaving streaks of light around Bendel as they curve and
swish away from the attacks around them.
Jammer tries to take a swing but is distracted.
With A2, holy shit. And that last hit comes behind
as the rabbit is distracted by the awe inspiring move as Vendel
looks so fucking cool surrounded by literal fire sparking around
them. The oil in their wheels captures
a little bit and there's fire lines leaning between them.
They don't give a fuck as they scorch the ground and that final
point happens and the crowd final talking wild.
Biotechnic wins the pug bowl and everyone goes insane as the
crowd is screaming Iona. You get a text message from
management and all it says is well done and money gets placed
in your account. Oh my God.
None of none of you guys hear that.
You can as a player be like holy shit, but you don't know that.
I also didn't do anything. That's what they all say.
Oh. Yes, I do OK.
That's all. I'm just checking that you.
That you remember. OK, I remember the message.
I don't think I did anything wrong.
You didn't do anything wrong but Bio.
But Biotechnica did win and everyone's going crazy, but
Bendell comes out of the rink, they're getting patted on the
back by all these people and they come up to Iona.
I don't know, I. Did.
Wow, that. Was so cool.
And Vendel goes up to you and without thinking, gives you a
big fucking hug. Vendel smells like burnt wood
and sweat. I am so excited that I hug
Vendel back and I hit them up and I spin them around like a
celebratory move. You did it, Hot Wheels.
You did it. Forget it, I'm home.
Wheels. I should quit.
This is fucking terrible. My heart is pounding out of my
chest. Phoebe held.
That's just the adrenaline or it'll wear off soon.
I also did loads of cocaine DV that.
Can't be good for your heart. As you're looking at Vendel,
your bedding chip goes off. Oh my gosh, this is the moment
of truth. Everyone it.
Starts to calculate. Everyone else's betting chip
goes off first. Yours is the biggest value, so
it takes a little bit of time to compute Iona for the last match.
Because. IO Hazards won the match.
For the match you get 864 eddies for the whole thing.
You did an overall bet of A. 3000.
Of 1000 for the biohats is at the beginning at two point O
which means you get 2000 and then you made 400 for ping.
Don't forget to give that to me Vivi.
You bet 700 on trauma team and you watch that 700 disappear
from your bedding chip. It then rotates onto the other
bet that you had 10K on the biohazards and you see 9000
eddies apply and then a green light goes on the chip saying
that you can retrieve the money. You now have almost 20 grand.
That's true. Holy shit.
Guys, I. The the.
Made. Going to be in shambles.
I made 20,000 eddies from this. Oh great, So you can get, you
can pay me back. Awesome.
Oh, Houston, you said it was on the House.
No, I said I'd give you $10,000 because you needed to get in.
VIPI wasn't. I need money.
I have rent to pay, you can keep them and I just want my 10 back.
Wait, who? Who is this song Give me?
Vendel. Oh, I thought for.
I'm thinking the collector for some reason.
I'm thinking the. Collector I was like, why?
No, Everybody used rent. I was the ones on drugs.
Vivi, yes, sorry. Vendel yes.
Vendel Vendel yes. I will pay you back right now.
10K. I just made 10,000 oh wait
that's my money already. But yay friendship when they pay
you back, that's nice. I've never once doubted you,
Bendel. Just.
I mean just just, you know. Just, you know.
It it sucks that you beat trauma team but I'm happy for you.
And Iona you get an extra 3800 for that spread.
Bet you did for 2001. The last one, yeah.
Awesome. Great.
Oh, Iona, did you win money too? Did people bet on me?
I sure did, and this is for. You can I help.
Yes, you did. I give Bendel 2000.
Oh, thanks. Money fresh.
How did you do? I did, all right.
Yeah. Yeah.
I I bet a load of money. No one.
No one saw. I bet all my money on
Biotechnica. So how much money do I have,
Iona? You got paying attention.
So I just spent it all. I told you only 700.
For that one. You didn't say for the whole
thing. All right, all right.
Right now you have 900 dollars, 900 euro dollars.
That means I made $1710 on that holy.
Shit, 1710, there you go. Pretty good, honey.
It looks like everyone had a great time.
Wait, where's Rich Retro? You gather outside and there's
retro sitting on a trash can. Oh boy, here it comes.
Retro. You're right buddy, he's just
grumpy pants. He's grumpy.
Oh. Guys, I know I'm like really,
really high on drugs, but it kind of feels like Retro wants
to go home. I'm very ready to go home.
I guess that was it. We I had fun.
I I you know what I did have fun.
You know what? I didn't die.
I had a great time, really learned a lot about myself,
about my friends, and that I don't necessarily have to get
addicted to gambling. Instead, I'll get addicted to
something else. And some guy passes you and
hands you a can of shine fuck up.
Yeah, that's it. That's it.
Come on now. You crack another can and shoot
it back. Oh yeah, that's good.
That's real good. And you lot spend a little bit
of time outside of the front of the pug bowl.
Vendel yes, you know, you're really good on a pair of wheels.
Yeah, maybe I should get some some skate feet.
We'll get you some skate feet. We'll have to go to our market.
I I think. I think I'm pretty fucking drunk
again. Not Jeb.
Next time on no latency. What y'all like vindo?
Yeah, you know, I, I think I'd, I'd love just one, just one.
I totally know what I'm doing. OK, let's get to work.
Totally should be Vivi. I've seen how you play with that
old school game Operation. I I don't think that synth coke
is is the way you want to go. But I'm good to go like.
Real bread or synth bread? Yeah, it's synth bread, but come
on. It's Halloween, guys we need.
Costumes. Are you dressed?
Should we, should we wait to reveal your costume till we're
at the bar? Yeah, yeah.

bit of a spoiler. We we meet back in the bar in
30. Yeah, a new brain dance, Joe.
You look great. You look fantastic.
I don't know how I'm not supposed to copy your accent all
night. Yeah, that's bone.
And the letter is something called Fillion Rail.
Blast, blast, blast. Oh woo.
Happy Halloween VVVV, could you could you patch up Vendel's
elbow? Yeah, What did you trip over?
Are you all right? Well, I'm going to up the stakes
and stab it in the heart. Yeah, I don't have anything.
