The last time on no latency. Oh my.
Is that a fatality? Do they get points for that?
No, they don't get points for the fatality.
I'm a doctor, I can help. That's going to need some
reconstruction, I think somebody.
Trains them deliberately I. Will find who did this.
Hi, Fresh. I really want trauma team to win
are. You going to bet on trauma team?
No, I'm good. I don't bet on losers.
There's the I don't know, we know and tolerate.
The rest of my money, all 150 of them on biotech.
I'm not there, but I feel like Chad has just poured into that
uniform. Yeah, that's kind of bad for
Biotechnica. Can they get back up?
I mean, don't ask me, I forgot how the game worked already.
Fuck you, trauma team. Oh yeah.
Come on, Van Dale. We should make up a name for Van
Dale Hot Wheels. Oh, that's not bad.
Hot Wheels. Hot Wheels.
I guess Chad's not that hot
anymore. Hello.
I have a complaint.
Excuse me. Hey, I want to know what are you
doing here to protect the teams? What do you mean?
What do you mean that bullshit that we had in the first bout?
You going to tell me what? It was awesome.
I made so much money. You made yes, yes, yes.
You made a lot of money off that.
I'm who the. Fuck are you?
Happy. Hello there.
I am Herbert Sanspire. Nice to meet you.
I'm in the football. Oh, oh, the Herbert Sanspire.
That's me. What's going on?
Yes, I am the. Announcing.
That's why I sound like this, but I'm not the announcer
because that's someone else they're announcing right now.
Can you hear them? I can't.
Yeah, it sounds like, it sounds like it's a it's a pretty tight
race to start off with this. This could be a barn.
Burn five guy. He's obnoxious.
Yeah, yeah. Are you sure you're not related
to them? You do sound very familiar.
No, no, you do the announcing for long enough and you just get
the voice plus. Gotcha.
Teams want to play here when you talk.
Like this? It's great.
Yes, I agree totally. Fully gunk anyways, So what are
you doing for any kind of security, anything like that?
Because there's been some rumors that somebody spiked chick from
the Roosters. What?
I mean, why bother? It's just an exhibition, who
gives a fuck? You there's money on the line,
you're going to tell me that you think that the NCPD is not going
to want to investigate something when you have money on the line?
I get I get people coming, I get friends all the time coming to
the office being like this team cheated murmur and it's like, I
mean. So you're saying it happens and
you allow it? No, I'm saying people say it a
lot and people cry wolf. So how am I meant to believe
everyone? You can't and.
What happens if you do find proof?
If I've got proof, I'll do some because I've got it, because
there's like a union for the players or whatever.
But until I have proof, I don't have to do shit.
That's what the contract says. I just rake in the money because
the combat zones fucking kicked it.
Holy shit. It sounds like it just sounds
like the biotechnic is the bio hasn't just scored.
Fuck yeah. They're. 2.0 fuck.
Retro is holding an internal rage at the moment.
So OK, I'm I'll be back. I will be back.
OK. Mr. Sandspire.
You, you, you have a great day Mr. Weird TV guy.
Fuck you. Fuck you too, I'll.
Just walk off. I'm take a cursory look, is
there anybody around or is there any cameras looking at the?
Security room. There are no cameras back here,
but there were cameras inside of the main area.
Where I'm at now. No, in the main area where you
just where where the ring is, there were cameras in there.
There are not cameras in this back alley, no.
OK, Oh, I'm going to break into the security room then.
Cool. Are you are you going to check?
Yeah, cool. That's why I was asking if
there's anything I can see. There's no, there's no cameras
and you're just going to try and get into this door?
Is that what you're saying? Yeah.
Dirty electronic security tech? Yes, you're able to open up the
door without it making any noise whatsoever and it clicks and
unlocks. OK, before I open it, I'm going
to use my tool hand and I'm going to use the mirror
attachment, slide it under the door.
I'm going to see if there's anybody in there right now.
Sure. Role perception.
That's not where perception should be. 21 You see into the
room. All right.
So I see that it's two gentlemen there and there's a computer
they have like the security cameras and such like that.
The computer says security computer on the side in like a
embossed printed stamp. OK, I will knock on the door of
security by now. Good.
You're right. How's it going?
Hey, how is it going? How can I?
Help you Sir. Well, I am with the, I'm with
the Media Group here, Science Fire has hired me and they
wanted me to take a look at some of the security footage because
we need to, you know, find like the juicy bits so we can start
getting some promotional material.
So, you know, I came in to see if you could, you know, show me
some of those, those good bits that we had for the first one so
I can start editing. That way we can try to get some
more of a get people to come and see us on the cloud, you know?
Yeah, Garden and shit, right? Yeah, yeah, Persuasion.
This is a very convincing argument still.
I love it when politicians say wow, this is a really convincing
argument. Not that he's a politician, but.
I rolled A3. Sure.
The computer's over there. Great.
Wonderful. Yeah, I'll just, I'll just make
my way in. What's going on, too?
How's it going? Man, what's going on, man?
I just ran out of beer. You know what I'm going to, I'm
going to give them one of the smashes.
I. Have. 1 2-3 Crack it at the same
time Oh. Yeah, let's go.
Smash it together. Hell yeah, Dude, dude, dude,
dude. Dude.
Shit. Damn it, that's fat.
OK, so you're now mildly addicted to Smash.
OK. It's a yellow foamy and there's
solden cans everywhere. It gives you +2 to the following
skills for the next 4 hours. Dance, contortionist,
conversation, human perception, persuasion and acting.
You will get a plus one to that. However, you're now addicted to
Smash. Oh well, what's new?
I need, I always need something new to be addicted to.
Yep. And this is legal actually.
Hey, I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to get some of the
clips here so I can put on the garden so we can promote it.
Yeah. Did you, did you see anything
cool or interesting happen while you're in here 'cause you guys
are like watching the game, right?
You guys are watching the Derby? Watching the game, No, no, we
listen to the 05 guy. He's way more interesting.
Oh, you don't even watch it, you just will listen to the 05 guy.
No, we only look at the footage of the if the people tell us to.
Dude, I will. I see pub bowl.
I see roller Derby all the time man.
Anyway, it's people like you that I wait for to make the
shit. I don't know what's the whole
fucking thing? Well, I want a compilation video
on the dark attention span is very short tablets, you know
it's true. It's extremely hey, what's that
over there? Huh, cool.
That wall is a slightly different color.
Nice. And hopefully while they're
distracted, I'm going to go ahead and copy the whole thing
to myself. Sure.
I'd also like to say at the, if I can, if I have any extra time,
try to see if I can find any incriminating evidence on the
computer and it's not just the footage.
Sure. Oh, crit success.
You look through the system and you're genuinely surprised to
find that the guy who runs this doesn't.
He's not part of any nefarious bullshit.
Faster the guy. Overly excited.
He just really loves roller Derby and the more you look
into, the more you find out he's just always been really into
roller Derby and that's where he's put all his money.
He is roller crit success. You are 100% sure that the guy
who runs this place has nothing to do with anything nefarious
that's happened, but the footage that you grab, you do see one of
the combat zone players shoot a trank dart into the ankle of
someone on the other team. You mean into check?
Into check, yeah. How do you know?
I see how they did it. It fires out the hilt of their
weapon in a hidden compartment. Mother fuckers.
OK, OK, I got that. Oh, with this do I have access
to the, I assume teleprompter for the K5 radio guy?
Yes. I'm going to slip in just small
little remarks for the radio guy to make a few jepes, few jokes
at the owner's expense because he wants it.
It makes it seem more humble and down to earth.
OK. And just pretty much, yeah.
Just add a little bit, have fun. Don't go, don't go too
overboard. We got to be a little bit family
friendly, but you know, crowd will love it.
It'll it'll embolden the the the the owner to to to the people.
And as you're setting this out, it gets put into the
teleprompter data for the next match.
Because as you start to type, the game ends and you hear a
rousing amount of cheering coming from inside of the Punk
the Punk punk arena. There's people screaming and
blinding and your betting chip in your pocket bleeps and
flashes a green light at you, indicating that you have won
some money. Oh well damn, sounds like Vendel
did make it. I am both happy and but also now
scared if we have to go up against them right?
What do you do Retro? I might take the footage, keep
it with me of course. OK, I mean I'm at the whole
thing and I will also leave a bug on the computer so then that
way I have access to it remotely.
All right, you have to roll for that because it is a new action,
but that is fine. 32 absolutely yes, you roll.
You roll enough that the software will self delete at the
end of this event and you now have access to all of the
footage remotely. Because you roll.
Yeah, because I just, I just build a virtual computer within
itself. So it seems like the same thing,
but in the background in the actual computer it is sending me
all this information onto a separate hard drive.
Meanwhile, back inside Jeb, your betting chip flash is green.
All right, let's go. I go.
Stick it into the into the machine.
And you've made twice your money, so you now have 300
eddies on your betting chip because the bio hasn't won.
Let's go. Oh, Maya, I haven't felt this
rush since I was racing Widow's Gulch.
Well, who's playing up next? I think I'm going to put it all
in again. Who's playing up next to tap the
machine? Game data The next match is game
three, loser bracket Rancho Canado Roosters versus it's
Trauma team Tower Sirens. Oh boy.
Well, here comes me and the retro at it again.
Well. What are the outs?
Where is retro by the way? He he said he was doing
investigating, but what the where?
But investigating what aren't we like?
Wait, hold on. Why are we here again?
Vendell has to race. I'm gonna say you'd have fun.
High 5. No, thank you.
No. One really, I mean, damn,
honestly it, it just feels like it's been a while, ever since we
just got some time to ourselves. And I thought, I thought we were
on a mission for a moment there. No, I think this is more like a
fun downtime thing. There's two of the players got
really into one of the DLCS that's available on the Artel
website on and on about the roller Derby.
So the GM thought that he'd like make a whole thing about it.
That's a lot of commitment. No.
It's not the GM really cares about his players or something.
Madness. No, don't not.
Don't get me started. All right, we should probably,
we should probably find retro before the next.
Match your bedding key is also flashing green.
Oh right, I won money too. Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding.
You pushed him out the way. Pull his ship out, put your chip
in the machine. He doesn't even get to bet yet,
he'll have to wait. You plug it in and it tells you
that you now have 350 * 2, which is 700 eddies.
Let's go. I think we might have enough to
get into the VIP area soon, Jeb. All right, that that was the
mission I forgot. Yes.
Well, I'm excited what they they got.
They got an open bar in there. I sure do.
Yeah. Wait, was that a?
Yeah, yeah. OK, OK, great.
Sure do. Awesome, awesome.
Because I'm going to be honest with you, I'm starting to really
like this shit. What's?
It called. Shine.
This shine stuff I can go for some more shine right now in
fact. And that is why I bought another
bottle. You crack open this metal
bottle. You take a big old SIP, it's got
a pull tab on top so it still sounds like a can and.
You can shaped like a Mason jar. Yeah.
Yeah, it is. Which is weird that it's a
little bottle. He takes a big old sip and has
to roll. Resist torture drugs 15 you
pass. Does this mean that my +2 and +2
are just continue to be plus one?
You just. Continue You have to take more
shine every 15 minutes because it affected It only effects you
for 15 minutes. I am feeling fast you've failed
so fast my entire life are. You going to do any bets for the
next match? This is the loser's bracket.
It's Trauma Team versus the Roosters.
I think Trauma Team is, you know what I'm going to, I'm going to,
yeah. I'll put a bit into Trauma Team.
I'll put 200 Eddies in special. Do I?
Do I have an idea of how much money it's going to cost?
Roll streetwise, yeah, that is under insect, yes.
I just rolled 2 nines on my new edge runners dice.
I just rolled 2 nines. You rolled 16 so you do find
out. It's ideally if you if you want
to get in with no one even blinking, you want at least 10
grand worth 10. Grand.
You probably probably could do. You probably could do with less,
but it would require a little bit more persuasion.
Damn do you Do you know who has very good persuasion skills?
And money, Iona. I don't have 10 grand to give
you either. He does Vendel.
Vendel doesn't spend any of their money.
It does a little busy right now. And Dell calls on the group
chat. Yeah.
Oh, man, I feel so full of energy.
It just won't go away. Oh, boy.
Hi, guys. I'm in the dressing room.
Everyone's patting me on the back.
I did fucking amazing. Did you see me?
Everyone? I didn't even have to do that
special move. Fuck yeah.
You should definitely save the special move for, you know, the
finale. That's what they call it, right?
You're the most dramatic move you.
Did fantastic Mendel. In fact, I even got the replay.
I got the whole thing. I got a copy of the.
Way. Yeah, yeah, put that on my
Christmas real. That's a good idea.
In fact, you know what? Whatever you do so you can keep
this high, drink alcohol, obviously.
Yeah, it's going to make you more.
It's going to give you more constitution.
Get that. Get that weightiness in you No.
No, no, no deflation. Both of us.
Both of you, Yeah. Who wins?
We'll find out. Well, I am here.
Oh, that's pretty good. That's.
A 22 also. That is a. 22 Why is it 22
Because of? The Smash.
Oh, you're. Smash.
Smashed. Oh so.
I should tell you, boss. I'm your boss.
I'm Ross. You gotta do it.
You pulling this means that they do take.
A negative A. Negative, yeah.
Like right now or just in my in my relationship?
In your relationship with them, it is now you've got one
negative tick. You don't have very many of
those ever. I know what the number is, don't
get to know. That's fine.
I don't. I don't need to know Pentel.
Yes. We know that this is hard.
But. I know you are cool.
You did you see yourself out there.
We have the real and everything and we're going to, you know
what we're going to do. We're going to take that winning
shot of you crossing that that line.
And we're. Going to frame it in the bar.
It's pretty cool. I want to be cool it retro,
right? Did you?
Did you want something? Coke.
Do more sense Co. OK, I'm going to, I'm going to
try to shut off the COM real quick between the two of them.
All right. You are not actually fighting I
own, you're not fighting I own or Vendel on this, you're
fighting Biotechnics communication system.
All right, that's a 10. That's really fun.
Let's roll another dice. Fucking well, that's an 8.
That's 18. And so the base.
What's the base number I thought.
I thought I had to the bag. Oh, I have to do math.
Oh great. This is fairly.
Close. I'm going.
To guess 29. Weigh 16 + 10 + 8.
In math. 32. 34. Oh.
So retro, you try and shut it down and for the first time in a
long time you come up against fairly heavy corporate security
and it just locks you out, doesn't let you.
Fuck. And as you as you step back into
the pug bowl, you see fresh pee while he's drinking a drink,
doing something on his device there.
We go I hate it when people try and hack our communication.
And he walks away, which means Fresh Pea beat you.
I'll let him have this win. And Vendel continues their
conversation. Vendel I'm just going to say
this. I know, but I know that they're
your boss. But sometimes you have to go
against the boss's wishes if you want to make them happy in the
end. Just think about it.
Heavy, heavy beer, porters such and like that right before the
race too. You don't want to do it like let
it sit. You want to let it be right in
the beginning. That way you have all those
calories to burn. What?
And I'll just also see this. Be careful how much coke you
take. You don't want to suddenly top a
valve. OK, Robin, just switch trucks
for me please. OK.
Bender rolls at Chris, 22. Nice, nice Jake.
Wow, I would do anything for my friend.
Would you lose for me? I believe that.
Except that. Would you give me 10,000 eddies?
Bucket. Sure, I just took loads of coke.
I mean, I mean much. Money is.
Not for spending, you know. Don't lose it all, I just want
it back. But if you need it for some
reason, I'm sure that we'll do great.
Bet on me. Bet it.
Fuck it all, let's fucking go. The call ends Phoebe.
You get a transfer for 10 grand. Oh my gosh.
Folks, welcome to dungeons and randomness.

Check out Dungeons and Randomness wherever you get your
podcasts and we'll see you around the table.
I'm rich. Do I really want to spend this
all this money? I mean one.
Access to an area? Am I really about to do that?
You could bet it and then you double it and then you have
extra so that you can buy into it and then you have a little
bit leftover but you can bet more.
OK, you know what I'm going to, I'm going to do that.
I'm going to bet on Vendel because I believe in them.
So are you because the the biohazards are not playing next
to you, betting on them to win the entire event?
I'm going to yes, I'm going to not vote on the Trauma team
versus the Roosters. I'm going to vote bet on Vendel
the Biohazards. Great.
Well I only rolled A1. Their odds go down by just one
point, so it's actually still at 1.9.
Biohazards 1.9. Trauma team 1.6.
Combat zone 1.5. Roosters 1.7.
Good luck. Let's do it.
Load 10 grand. Send it.
You load 10 grand and do you bet on the biohazards to win the
whole thing? I'm going to put a little money
into Trauma Team. Here's what I'm saying on the
chip is already the money you won from the last match.
Yeah, I've already got quite a bit of money.
Yeah, I'm going to put the 700 into trauma team.
Let's just, you know, let's see how they do because I got to do
I'm I'm a betting. And are you doing that for the
next match or overall? For the next match.
Right, so you've. Got I'm voting for Vendel.
Cool. All right, so you put in your
overall bet, it locks in at 1.9, which means if you do, if they
do win, you will make 9000 eddies.
That's. A lot. 9000 Eddies Wow and
Trauma team gets a 700 bet for their game three, which happens
in about 8 minutes. Yep, I'm going to bet.
I'm going to bet I'm good. So I have 2000 now.
OK. I will put 1000 on the Roosters.
For the next game, this game. Cool.
No, no, actually no. I'm going to just put all 2000
on the Roosters for this game. That cost you nothing because
it's already on the chip. Yep, of.
Course, making my way back to the.
Area. I was out.
I'm I'm going to buy another, you know, buddy cap of smash, of
course, and along the way I'm going to go.
I'm just you know, I'm going to see VV and I'm going to see
Jabba. Hey.
Hey, you guys. Hey, where were you?
I was doing work. I'm going to say this.
What kind of work was that? Finding out that the combat zone
are full of cheaters and they definitely tricked my team so.
Oh, we knew that. Jeb, I was going to try to.
I was feeling generous at this moment, but now you're out,
baby, Come on. We're going to go to the VIP.
Let's go. You're coming with the VIP.
Let's. Go.
I'm going to VIP. Yeah, I'm going to get you in
the VIP. Wait, hold on, I want to go to
VIP. He was.
About to drop 10K talk. Shit, Jeb, and that's what you
get. On that.
It's too late, I was agreeing with.
You, Jeb. Jeb VB gets excited, pulls their
betting chip out of the machine, and you have this moment to bet.
Well, I'm going to put it all on.
Let's see. Well, I guess, well, I suppose
that that Retro was saying that they were kind of cheating
against his team. Now I wonder if that's going to
continue to happen. The team he was talking about as
you look at the bracket and not playing next.
No, no, it's like I've chosen between my best friends.
Who are you going to choose here in your head?
Who are you going to choose, Jeb, Me or him?
Well, you're the one talking to me in my head, so I guess I'll
talk. I guess I'll go with you.
And I put it all on dramaty. Cool how much you go. 300.
Jeb, you just made the third biggest mistake of your life.
Oh no. All right, So you head to VIP,
you watch VV and retro walk over to VIP.
Iona's sitting there drinking a real water, very clean, very
delicious. And you walk up to the front of
the VIP area VV and there are guards on either side.
Retro, are you getting us in? Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're with
me. Well, they're, they're part of
my team working wise VIP ticket. They don't need one, they're
with me. Go VIP ticket.
They I just told you Sir, they don't need one.
I am part of the team which is making the promotional material
for the Pug Bowl out there on the Guardian.
I need them to be with me on it so we can make sure that we're
doing real time updates on this. And I need them to be here for
that. So they're here with me.
I've already talked with the manager and they're already
ahead on this deal. You could talk with the
gentleman on the insecurity and they also know what the deal is,
so roll. Persuasion. 21/21/21. 21 I'm
smashed. Wait, you're the medic?
Yes, yes I am. Yeah, that's that's their full
time job. They're making money on the side
helping. Me.
You. You help.
You help, kid. I did.
Yes, I did, very valiantly. Man, you know, that's really
cool, but you know, you really have to spend a lot of money to
be a VIP. It's not like you've like
dropped a massive amount of money on a bet just like the
last one. As a matter of fact, I did.
You've checked my card? And your betting chip has a
little screen on it and it shows your bets on it.
Oh shit. I'm kind of a big deal.
You're also rich as shit. Holy crap man, if I had 10 grand
I'd spend it on like rent and food.
You just like drop 10 grand on everything on a on a on a on a
match. It's incredible.
Buy your buy your hazards to win.
Weird you're wearing tournament team match, but cool all.
Right. Did I just hear that right?
I'm a betting woman. Did I just hear that right,
baby? Hear what?
Right. You bet it all against Oh.
My gosh, just don't. Team loyalty.
Team. Loyalty.
Retro. I will remember this.
It's. For Bendel.
Retro will remember this. Jumes The next match will start
in 5 minutes. So I did a little investigation,
went and checked out security footage and checked this out.
And on my face you'll see it. Do that whole VHS reel and
you'll see in slow motion combat zone shooting that tranquilizer
into Chick's Achilles heel. And you see Jeb on the other
side of the VIP glass, watching as he can't hear you, the screen
on your face. And Jeb, you now realize what
everyone's talking about. You see very clearly that Combat
Zone cheated. No one else is watching this
around you, but you see it because Retro is your friend.
You pay attention to it. But now you have now experienced
this as well. Wait a minute, they did cheat.
Is Jeb talking to us? Jeb.
You just see on the other side
of the of the glass, just like his mouth, just like moving,
gesticulating wildly, looking silent to you, Yeah.
You're just going to hear over your comp, Jeb, Why are you
gesticulating wildly? You know we have comms, right?
A rat. I just, you know, I feel that.
No, I got no excuse for that. I just forgot.
Are you just miming that outside?
No, I wasn't mime and I just, I just, you know, I just forgot
that we had the calms. So as we've seen the combat zone
full of cheats, obviously that's how they got their way up and
I'll be honest, I'm not going to share it just yet.
I want to see how this betting thing goes as well as see how
the Roosters do. If we lose, I'm going to make a
thermonuclear air in this place. Betting will close in 2 minutes.
And I guarantee you we'll probably get our money back too.
But anything you won will be gone.
I mean, shit, I get, you know what?
No, I'm, I'm sticking with it. I'm sticking with my bet.
I'm good all. Right.
I bet on my team. All right.
So do you guys find seats inside of this area in the VIP area?
Oh, yeah, yeah. No, I want Phoebe to sit next to
me. Because, Phoebe, there is a big
reason why I asked you to be here.
Part of it is because you're my friend.
Yes. Part of it is because I know you
want to be here and enjoy this wonderful pug bowl, but the
majority is I want to be here to taunt you when your team loses
to the God damn Roosters. We'll see.
I mean, it's not looking good for the Roosters.
Oh. I I have some doubts.
You have some doubts. You have doubts.
OK, I. Have your doubts.
I did put money on trauma team, by the way, so we'll see what
happens. You guys just.
Put down, we try to sit as close as possible.
We want, we want to see the, we want to see the the blood.
So you're just going to stand at the window instead?
Well. What is the closest?
There are sofas in the VIP area. Comfy.
Sitting next to Shark Here, we'll sit next to Shark.
Yeah. You see Shark and he's like just
tapping away on his on his tile, paying more attention to anyone
and you pass by the collector as he grabs a glass of wine.
Hey, go back there. Good to see you.
Hopefully no. One smashes this.
One, what do you mean by that? Smashes.
Iona threw it at trauma team. What?
I I did. I did.
I got excited. It was, it was lovely.
I missed Iona having an actual emotion.
They got worse. That would have That would have
been great. That would have been great to
see Iona making an emotion. I certainly made it.
I made an emotion. It overwhelmed me so much that I
threw a glass. I know I've never seen you do
that before. You let your emotions take over,
are you? I must think on who I am.
It's a reflection of myself. First.
Jeb had an existential crisis. Now me.
And I mean, it's like it started on BB.
Me. Oh yeah.
Oh BB just needs a cigarette, she'll be fine.
You have been corrupted well far from where you were at.
Oh. A cigarette.
Wonderful idea. And you see the collector pull
out a packet of cigarettes in a golden case.
He opens it and pulls out these cigarettes that have golden
filters. He puts one to his mouth, lights
it, and the golden filter lights up with RGB as he smokes it and
the smoke comes out purple. What?
Who's? That.
I should have known that the collector smoked King Midas's
it's. King Midas?
Do you want one VB? Yes.
Here you go, I won't charge you. It's RGB.
Yes, $1000 a pop. Wait a minute, how much are they
actually eat? Each each cigarettes about 1000
pack of 10. Wait a minute.
OK, so a pack of 10. $10,000. I.
Can't. Do that $1000 a cigarette.
It's $1000 a cigarette. There's 10 cigarettes in a pack.
That's $10,000. This is $1000.
A cigarette I'm about to smoke. What is RGB?
The collector pulls out his his lighter, which spins and then
floats above his hand with a little magnetic.
Pack, wait, collector? Yes.
How would you like to upgrade that?
How would you like to upgrade that to Spliff?
Oh, no, no, I, I'm, I'm quite happy with my nicotine.
And also, you know, deconstructing one of these
cigarettes genuinely feels like a waste.
There are $1000. But think about it, you have the
ability to waste $1000 to make the most expensive spliff of all
time, and you will be the first to ever smoke the most expensive
spliff of all time. You've not had a party with
Danny, right? Danny Dark side.
Yes. Wait, all right.
Never. Mind Danny Darkseid, the guy who
used to. Sit.
In in in his room in college while we were all going out
doing keg stands that Danny Darkseid throwing a party.
Yes, very grumpy right there. A bunch of shit got stolen.
Apparently it was Maelstrom. They were all in his place,
completely knocked out. Roll persuasion if you want me
to put weed in this. No comments.
No 18. I will say I've got bad numbers
for you because I did roll A10. That's eating on top.
That's a big fat no. I'm happy.
Lightning team Vivi. Come here, darling, come here.
The collector heads over to Vivi and as he brings the floating
lighter closer to the cigarette in her mouth, it flicks open and
lights. He lights your cigarette with
this floating, slightly rotating Zippo lighter.
Slightly. Rotating Now as you pull on this
cigarette, the thing that strikes you is it's not synth,
it's real fucking tobacco. What the heck?
This. I don't think I've ever tasted
this in my 24 years of living. Be careful though, because if
you twist the if you twist the the filter, you can now change
the flavour and the RGB. I make it pink, it lights up
pink. And starts to taste like a
strawberry daiquiri. Oh.
My God. It's like an electronic
cigarette that has yield tobacco that is burning on the inside.
Collector, this is life changing.
You're welcome that I have a guy you know and rich as fuck.
You have a guy who's the guy? You want the guy.
I want to know his name. Where do you get these from?
I, I I've got a smoke shop where it's in the executive district.
You need you need a referral and his name is Martin.
OK, I'm writing this down. People, people just got in the
smokestack. Quite literally.
Get it? I'm just watching them both
smoke the cigarettes while their lips are pulsing with the RGB's
colours in their mouth. Did.
You want one retro. I mean, I won't say no to a free
$1000 cigarette. You know, I'm going to be
honest. I'm real curious about that.
You mind getting one from me too?
Why is Jeb waving at? Us.
Hey, Jeb. Hey.
Jeb. Oh yes.
Fuck it, Jeb. And he, he just walks out of VIP
walks out to. You.
Hey Glitch, how are you? It's lovely to see you.
Hello, tiny Goldman. Hi.
And you touch Jeb, you turn around, and Fresh is very
uncomfortably right behind you. He scares.
You a little bit. Hey, collector, don't don't give
me one. I don't think he deserves 10.
I don't. Smoke.
Oh, you heard that? Yeah.
We're really close. I'm basically touching your
shoulder. Yeah, about that.
Can you go here? I collector OH.
Boy. And the collector hands you a
cigarette and he brings his lighter out and it starts to
float to his hand and he goes to light your cigarette.
Oh, wow, that is well, Dick dishes.
Hey, you guys, he wasn't lying. This is the real stuff.
You know, my grandpa would give me one of these and I was 4 1/2.
Well, not one of these, but, you know, like he used to put it in
the pipe. I don't know if you guys know
where the what, what, what damn old pipes look like.
They were like wood and they they kind of did like a little,
it looked like a little saxophone.
They made bonds out of wood, like saxophones.
Sure. Yeah, Yeah, that's one way to
look at it, yeah. So you smoke tobacco out of a
bomb shaped like. Oh, there was no, there was no
water, you see. Game 3 is about to begin.
Oh look at that, our bullshit has been cut short.
All right, let's see how this goes.
Roll the Derby fans. Are you ready for match 3?
It's. The.
Rancho Canado Roosters versus the Trauma team Tower sirens and
the green light says go skating around the bottom St.
The Roosters have a little bit of a lead as they create the
deadly spread. Going left quickly around that
corner. So we're ready for our first
actual round. It's weapons.
Let's go, Roosters. Let's go.
This is all directly in Phoebe's face.
Let's go. Yes, Yes, I knew.
I knew that the Collector was a was a cocksman.
Yes. I I just bet bet a million on
both. Just sort of be fun.
Holy shit. So like either way, wait wait, I
think you make more of trauma team ones, right?
Yes, totally. We had some more smash.
I'm sorry, I thought I had a burp.
And after the first lap Trauma team,
even though they got a point, their rabbit does seem a little
close to those jammers on the other side.
Come on, let's go. You could do it, chick.
I believe in you. We got this.
We got. This.
Come on now. Come on now, Sirens.
I believe in you. Shut the fuck up, jab.
I believe. Go on, give him the C block.
Hit him with the C block. I want you to tighten up that
jammer line. Oh, Trauma Team with another
crit success on 16. Unfortunately, one of the
jammers has taken a little bit of a tumble, but they score a
point. Those rabbits.
Trauma Team is up two points. This is bullshit.
Oh, trauma teams.
Rabbit takes a bad crit fail and it looks like the Roosters have
scored their first point of match three.
There you. Go.
Let's get it in Going for the egg hunt.
Going for the egg hunt. Going for the egg hunt?
They have weird chance.
You know what do we go? Any chance is it like wee woo
Wee woo? No, it's.
It goes. We lose, we lose, we lose.
Where's fries? Sirens go towers.
Go, go. As he comes by blocking someone
because he rolls pretty well in that round, and he waves at you
as he elbows this jammer in the side, sailing them to the left.
Their rabbit takes a lead. The announcer gets really
excited. And.
Trauma team scores again, you see.
You. See Chad wave at you.
This is a good one. This, this, this, this cheer.
You hear that one? That's a good one.
It's a they're, they're a bunch of moochers.
We're going to give them sutures.
They're a bunch of moochers. We're going to give them.
Sutures. I blow chattakiss.
OK, Hold on. Can I, can we have a bit of an
aside here, Vivi? Yes.
Vivi, I I know that you asked me earlier if that you asked me if
I thought that you were leading them on and at the time I had
said no, I think, you know, it's kind of a him brawl.
I'm going to be honest, I kind of think you're leading them on
now. Now I think it's a bit of a you
problem. Now I want to be clear.
If you think that this Chad guy is a a well, a potential suitor
of sorts for you, then you know I'm I'm behind you all the what?
I just don't want you to get a well.
I don't want to do anything dumb because he thinks that you you
lack them or you don't really lack.
You understand? I don't know what you're talking
about, Jeb. Yeah.
Well, as. You As you're looking at Jeb,
you can hear the crowd go wild. The Roosters have scored yet
another point. It's 2:00 to 3:00 and it's
anybody's game. Son of a bitch.
Jim. Yes.
As Chad passes by I would like to yell out Chad thanks buddy.
This is the best date I've had with BB ever.
Wait, Oh my God, Retro. That's cruel.
I want to win. I will win.
Now this, this moment out there on the field, Chad kind of looks
really concerned. He looks out across to the VIP
and watches Retro kind of give this like shimmy towards VB.
He gets really upset. Motherfucker swings his piece of
rebar back and actually smacks one of the jammers straight in
the face, ripping him forward, bumping into another jammer and
the other. Rooster took a grip.
Fail and he scores a point through the jammer by accident.
Fuck. All right, you know what?
It wasn't pretty. Match.
Point. It's these next roles that tell
us the winner. Everyone.
The Roosters roll first. Oh, and they're rabbits out
there with a Crit Success 16. Come on, come on.
Come on, Roosters. Let's go.
We haven't even fully hatched yet.
Let's. Let's do this.
Come on. We're not even.
We're not. I'm not even a quarter of my.
Tower that this isn't looking good for the.
Roosters. It's not the Roosters.
I hate this so much. I hate this so much.
Oh, the Roosters do not roll enough.
That's right there. Got a 14, Got a fourteen.
Way higher than that eight. Last hit right across the
backstage. 2. Spinning right round, baby
right. Round this.
Game. Tell you sorry, one point.
Drama team the Roosters. I always knew Vivi, Vivi, I
always knew. You know what?
I'm going to tell you something that you know, I maybe shouldn't
tell people because, you know, it might give people the wrong
idea. But I stopped and I thought
before, before I put my bed in, I kind of, you know, stopped and
closed my eyes and I heard you tell me to, to play place all my
money on the trauma team. I did hear you, a voice that
sounded just like you. And you know, I could see it was
like a a vision of you in my head.
Am I going insane? It's unclear, but one thing's
for sure, I made dope my money. I can't believe it, Jeb.
That makes me so happy to hear that the little voice inside of
you is is me. You know, I'm going to be
honest, I kind of was expecting to hear a retro too, you know,
kind of defend himself, but he didn't.
So I guess yes, it is just you and there.
Retro's defenseless right now. The Roosters are eliminated.
Retro. Maybe next year's Pug Bowl.
I think this is over. You think you've won.
I will burn this all down. That's what you sound like.
Next time on no latency. Betting is fun.
Betting is terrible. It is a sin.
You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
This is Biotechnica and you, you're not out here rooting for
Vin one. OK, I'll, I'll go sit in the
stands. Go Vandel.
This whole thing is rigged. I'm pretty sure that's a leak.
I'm going to play it on it on my face.
It's so obvious, just take a look.
At it. That's a rooster fan.
Oh unnatural rooster fan. So if there's any team out there
that has illegal modifications that are weapons, then that's
that's bad. So Retro doesn't quite see me
they. Stole your money.
They stole your money. Gotta get this fucking thing
off. Oh boy.
That's true. That's what won me last time.
All right, we're going to do our best. 300 on Trauma team to win
this match. That wouldn't have happened if
they hadn't cheated. They get it.
You get it. We, we just, we just like, you
know. Yes, I get it.
I am so excited. Oh.
That can't be good for your heart.
