Welcome to No Latency Side Quest, a bonus podcast with
special guests that affect the main story of No Latency.
This time Retro's caught up in a Christmas parade problem, joined
this holiday season by guest stars Brianna De Costa playing
Cypher The Danger Gal, Gossip Bjorn Anders playing Remington
the Nomad with a Hunger and Ash. Ignis playing Prompt, the Exec
with a big project on the line. The Night City Christmas Parade
looks like it might be a little wet this year if Retro and his
friends don't do something to save the season.
The water is soon going to fall and it's Retro's presence that
will hopefully keep it all together.
Because this year Retro's going to stop anyone raining on his
parade. Shall we begin?
My guy, my gym, yo. Reeves, what are you doing?
What's up? Hey, hey.
What's going on, man? Yeah, Hey, what's What's up?
What's up with you? What's What are you doing this?
Holiday, dude, you excited about the parade?
Yeah, who isn't excited about the parade?
I I I wish. Here's the thing.
Parade is like one of my favorite parts of the holiday
time. The thing is, it's like, hey,
hey. Wait, wait, wait.
No, no, no. Retro, shut the fuck up.
Come over here at this at this screen store.
April's on. Oh wow.
Oh, April Anonymous. Yeah, man.
What I got to see? This this is network 50.
Four with your host, April. Anonymous.
Good afternoon, Night City. This is Network 54, and I'm
April Anonymous. The Christmas season has begun
and Night City is getting into the holiday spirit.
The Night City Parade will feature floats from some of your
favorite brands, garden talent and this year added NCPD.
Security. The new fleet of light vehicles
straight from the production line will cascade along hollow
floats and underpaid St. Performers boasting improved
side plating, blast proof doors and a corrosive resistant
material that looks great in blue.
And yellow. I do love a man in uniform.
Armed, dangerous and this year, Festive 2.
Did I mention I'll be at the parade sign up on the Network 54
Garden to get a hollow picture and a wave from yours.
True. If it's going to be the parade,
everything. For the fans.
Oh my God. The weather outside may be
frightful, but our boys with the NCPD sure are.
Delighted. Oh dear. 4 I'm April Anonymous.
Dude. Dude, dude, I can't.
I can't get access to my car and it won't open.
Dude, we got to have a good view.
The parade, my guy. Oh man.
I mean, I would say we go to the at the top of my apartment
building, but that's like on the opposite side of the parade.
I don't know where. Else, yeah.
No. No they don't.
They're not going near your place.
And I live in a shipping container, so my view is
bullshit. Totally.
Hey, my friend Trent, Like, he usually has a barbecue on.
Like whatever the fuck the day is now what?
Wednesday. Yeah.
Cool. So like, let's just go there.
Is it smoke friendly? It's outside my gym.
Hey, that's good enough for me. Let's go.
Let's. Go and retro and Reeves skitter
off to this lovely location prompt.
You're sitting in the back of your car and your driver
suddenly breaks. What?
What's going on?
Traffic. They blocked off all the roads.
Well, yeah, there's a parade. No shit.
That's today, yes. Oh, I shouldn't have taken that
last. No, I was wondering what you're
doing. I'm doing my calendar right now.
Why? It's fine.
I get to 54321. OK, fine, OK, Just I have to be
able to see the cars. I need to see the vehicles.
The the flight vehicles. Yes.
Oh, what's that? What they were shouting about in
the boardroom. Yes, yeah.
Yeah. That was the whole, you know,
the project for the last like a year and a half that's consumed
in my entire life. Yeah.
Yeah, so like, don't forget your camera, because it's right
there. Yeah.
All right. OK, you know what, I'm just.
I'm We're not going to make it to this.
No, no, I need. I'm just going to.
I'm going to find a rooftop. I'm just going to find a
rooftop. OK, well this building's, I can
see smoke coming from the top of that building.
It's a little like fire. Are you sure?
It doesn't look like fire or? You know what?
I'm just going to get out and I'm just going to get.
You know what, I'll. I'll call you.
Come pick me up in when I call you, OK?
You you got it. Dick Monty, you.
Slams the door and drives it. Whatever, Whatever, whatever,
whatever. It's fine.
Breathe 54321. OK.
And I'm going to just go up to
the door and just try and get up into the rooftop.
You step into the apartment building, walk towards the
elevator, get inside and ascend. Perfect.
The elevator smells of bacon grease.
That's a little good, but a little disgusting at the same
time. Oh, is it going to get in my
clothes? Oh my God, it's going to get in
my clothes. Oh my God.
I got to get out of this elevator.
I have to get out of this elevator 54321.
Meanwhile, Remington. Yep.
You are on the rooftop. Standing uncomfortably close to
whoever's man in that grill, watching everything they do like
a hawk. So you're standing on the
rooftop, right next to Trent, washing his hands in this
recycler sink. Yeah, so I've been making kibble
patties for about 8 months. They're making what now?
Kibble patties. Oh, jig you like.
It's basically reconstituted meat that I reconstitute again,
but with like, you know, nano bacon grease I.
Mean. That doesn't sound terrible, so
it's better than what I've eaten in the past few weeks and.
It's better than when you're getting the vending machines.
You're excited about the parade, cowboy.
Slaps me on the grill. That's beautiful sight, right?
There. I like the sizzle.
Yeah, I like the char. I think you'd be going to get
along. You say there's a parade
happening. Was that all happened?
Have you been living? Didn't you see Network 54?
No. No, no, friend.
It's December right now. I think you're completely off on
exactly how you're looking at your your calendar, your your
does have all 12 months, right? Yeah, it's the Christmas parade.
Yeah. So why you talking about April
like? No, the the newscaster.
The person. Their name is April Anonymous.
Why is her name April if she's anonymous?
It just seems like a real fucked up there to go.
About misunderstood. No, I think she misunderstands.
If you're anonymous, you don't want people to know what you
got. Damn.
Name. What was your name?
Remington. Nice to meet you, man.
Would you like a short glass of weird bacon grease?
If I ever say no to that, I want you to shoot me.
Meanwhile, Cipher, you get a call as you're walking towards
your parade party. Hello.
Hey, honey. Hi.
How's it going? OK, so the lockdown started.
So bye. What?
The fuck. Click.
You were headed to a party, but looks like you didn't make it in
time and you're now standing in on a street in Night City and
the parade is in a few hours and you have nowhere to go, No.
No, no, no, no. This is not going to do.
This is my favorite season. I mean, this is where people are
depressed and sad making bad decisions, and that leads to
messiness and then new clients for me.
No, no, no, no, no, I no, We got to figure this out.
Wait, oh wait. And.
You're standing in this street and coming towards you is a
floppy, like very surfer, like dude who's got his shirt open,
he has tuna put tunas tattooed across his chest and he's
walking with a man with ATV for a head.
Hey, what's up tunes? Where are you going?
Hey, what's up? I like your hair.
You look pretty dumb. Oh.
Thanks. You are welcome.
Like, hey, are you guys going to see the parade?
Totally. My friend Trent is having a BBQ
we think. Hey, how friendly is this friend
Trent? Well, he's as friendly as me.
Me and my very good friend Retro, who's like a fucking
legend, are going to go up there and have some good times, maybe
smoke a little, and then watch some floaty things bash into
buildings in a comical but memeable way.
At this time at this time, Retro has been trying to fashion a a
holiday sweater with his the scrap that he has from his
backpack. OK.
Should I roll for that? No, I know someone who can make
a a better version of that. No, we're gonna be like.
Holy shit. Cipher.
Is that you? Wait, oh.
My God. Oh my.
God, hey. Oh dear.
Small. World.
Yeah. Whoa.
Oh God. I haven't seen you.
Forever like fate. Like, I will really believe that
this is like the, you know, the holiday spirit and magic.
You know, it's just this is this is happening.
It's like right now, isn't it cool?
I It's amazing. Yeah, I haven't.
Seen you in like, dude. I haven't seen any of those too.
Reeves, this is my friend Cipher.
They gave me my very first job, but when I moved here to Night
City. Oh cool.
I totally told him that he had to like increase his prices like
40%. He wasn't going to make
anything. Yeah, I I pretty much did.
They got me to do a job for about 200 Eddie's, I thought
that's with like a decent prize, but I pretty much the.
Main line how's she doing? We're not together anymore.
Oh, Bomber Van. Yeah.
OK, Yeah. Well.
Well, those are the brakes. OK, so where is this party?
Oh, like, just like, behind you, this building.
Right here. Wait, OK, but like, how's the
view? Well, why don't you come
upstairs and we'll have a look. Yeah.
Come on, Sniper. Let's go.
It leads you into the elevator,
your head upstairs, and you arrive.
You smell that? Oh, it smells like heaven bacon.
That's what it is. I'm gonna lick the elevator
door. Is there like a coat of, like,
bacon grease on it? Because she's going to lick it.
There there is. It is on the floor.
Oh. She totally gets on her hands
and knees with her big platform shoes and she's going to go
ahead and lick the floor. Cool cheer the the whole talking
and third person thing is neat nice.
Yeah, sometimes I do that. That's cool.
Have you ever tried? Talking in third person, Reese
is always down. Haha.
Look at that Reese. Yeah, I was.
Gonna ask what's your name? Again.
Reese. Reese.
My name is JK Reese. Nice to meet you.
What is off my tune? Huh?
What's? JK stand for?
That is personal business that I will not share.
That's fair, but. But I appreciate the question
and being genuinely interested in me as a person rather than a
billboard. Hello Corpo.
What is up? You seem completely lost.
I am so lost. I am.
It's my. Bestie hi Oh my.
God, I would like to cypher Hello.
Magic Christmas. Magic.
How are you? Oh.
Sorry, I'm so excited. You're so excited.
You're good, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's been a little while. I thought I wasn't going to be
able to see the parade and then now all of us are being brought
together. Is this your like Fate idea
thing again? Yeah.
OK, That's fair. Out during the season, for me, I
get the most clients because again, everyone's depressed,
sad, getting into wasted, wasted wasting someone else, you know?
Yeah, of course. I would like to go.
And you know, I get more clients that way.
I'm going to go get wasted now that we're at the the roof.
So if you guys need to. I've been here before.
So you just kind of go this way. Plus Gabby and and Calvin.
Hey guys, And then up here and then we're going to go over
here. Is that cool?
Yeah. Wait, where's Trit?
He's already gone. OK, who is that She's just going
to? Yeah, trit.
This rooftop is huge. It is the full length of a large
apartment building that has about eight different apartments
in it, so your voice carries off into the street below.
There is a pretty sizable wall around the very edge of the
building, and you're standing outside of the elevator with a
small view of the east side of this part of Knight City.
OK, safer. So you're just here to see the
parade? Yeah.
Do you know which way is a good way to see it?
I so I've been working with the SO my project that I've been
working on for like a year and a half is finally for fruition.
I can finally see the armor plating on the vehicles.
I'm so excited. That's amazing.
Congratulations. Thank you.
I think I went with more Gray hair than I had before, so we'll
go with that. Well, I mean, I'm digging a
look. Thank you, I got tech hair
installed to help with it because it was becoming a
problem, yes. Due to the stress, yes.
Yes, I may have gotten 5 people fired over the last year and a
half because they don't know how to do anything.
Oh. Yeah.
Well, you should have just hit me up and then I could have like
hooked you up with some new peeps.
Yeah, I might, I might, I might talk.
Maybe might be able to help me get a new job soon because I am
not getting anywhere with mine. I'm still that you did, I mean.
You hired me for a reason, and we I know.
I know, yeah, Callum was very happy, but he still didn't give
me more money or pay. But he doesn't really look at
what I do, so I can kind of just do whatever I want.
But the stress of seeing everybody's calendars all messed
up and people not scheduling things and parts not going where
they need to go. And 543210 you.
I've been learning breathing techniques.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I I see that. Yeah, I need it seems.
Like you need a drink. I would love it.
Not not me. I will take a drink though.
But did you wait and? Wait, why?
Why are you smelling? Me, oh heavenly, you smell.
Like, Oh my God, on my suit? No, I was in the elevator.
No, I'm going to have to get this, like, somehow cleaned.
It's one of my nicest suits and it smells like bacon.
Of the holiday season. I'm glad one of us is happy.
That and the smell of sadness. I mean, there's probably a lot
of that around. Oh, yeah, that's that's exactly
why I'm here. I'm so excited.
OK, wait, hold on. Hold on, hold on.
OK, wait. I think if we go over in this
direction, what do I? Swear.
So in the meantime, Remy has just kind of stayed next to
cipher as they're pretty uncomfortable in social
situations while not high or drunk.
So they've kind of been listening at the same time and
just kind of nodding ahead as they build this holiday sweater
and I rolled to build it and then how it I also rolled to see
how it looks on me on there as well.
You rolled 29, or I. All I heard was EDA.
You rolled 29 on basic tech. The holographic screen you
pulled out of your bag from some scrap sits really neatly in the
middle, and it's basically a copy of you on your sweater, and
you've linked it up to your own head, so your sweater and your
face have the same expression. That is actually really cute.
It's got a little It's got a little holiday hat on it though.
And both of you, you both look at him as he's like doing this
in front of you while the conversation happens and he
finishes and because. That is absolutely amazing.
I'm sorry. Who you?
Who are you? Hello.
This is my other bestie. We go way back.
Right. Way back, way back, retro.
Retro, nice to meet you. I'm prompt.
Or you can call me written. Whatever.
Nice to meet you. I just call.
It Hello bestie. You call everybody bestie.
I thought I was your bestie. Well.
You're like, OK if we do a ranking system, you're like,
probably like. The smell of delicious BBQ food
starts to waft from the West side of the rooftop.
Oh, OK, I smell. Blow your nose.
Get some We got to get some food.
I think Cipher is starting to actually levitate off of.
Oh yeah, buddy, that's the stuff.
Oh, all right. What they got?
I will. I will help you try and find
some food. This place is massive.
I know, I like. I don't know anyone here except
for you. Guys.

I can't wait to see myself. What?
Do you want to see yourself? Oh no, I'm.
I'm going to be part of the the union float.
They like, paid me a bunch of money to stand at the front on
right on the float. Like me, I'm going to be right
there on the front. It's going to be dope, but
you're here. Wait, yeah, wait, how?
How does that work? How?

Oh. Shit.
I don't. Think you're going to be there

Here's my burger. Peace, everyone.
Have a great time on the on the the thing, but take take a photo
of me because I want to see myself.
And Reeves leaves. Bye Wait.
Oh my goodness. Man, he felt.
The need see what I'm seeing. He needed that holiday speed,
yeah. Well.
That. Oh, he didn't even put any.
He didn't put ketchup or mustard on this.
What's wrong with Reeves? Oh, that's that's disgusting.
Wait, you guys are? Missing.
No, no, no, no. You guys.
Am I the only one who's seeing what I'm saying?
There's a. Freaking cowboy here, Remington.
I think that tiny human is talking about you.
Well, I do draw attention from time to time now.
Quick question. It's probably the hat.
It is my most becoming feature, Thank you very much.
I did find myself a rather, well, a piece of animal of
dubious origin that I think should find its way onto that
grill, just so we can find out exactly what this varmint tastes
like grilled up. Just only use the back corner of
it. That's where most of the flame
happens. Well, I mean, you know, I want
to get it to a nice, good, medium rare look.
Looks like red meat at least. So, you know, I'm not going to
put it in the absolute, you know, and if, if, if you don't
mind, just kind of Mosey and over.
Just give me enough room and I'm just going to set that sucker
down just like dead in the center of the grill.
Yeah, the the grill is shitty. It is handmade.
It is bad. There is fire coming out of it.
It causes char, there's bits of burnable things in there like
paper and stuff to keep it going.
And it's powered by a gas tank sitting next to it, with some
tune to siphoning off at about 1/4.
Everything I do to move any of the meter out of the grill, I
just do with my right hand using these two metal fingers, much
like would use tongs. Oh damn, Hold on.
Hey, is that the new Armalite Scope edition?
I wish that were the case. It's not terribly new, doesn't
have a scope, but certainly serves me well.
Got it. It's a nice piece of hardware
you got there. Choom.
What is it? I'm immediately going up and
like kind of like waving my hands.
Not exactly touching, but it's kind of like I'm I am oogling
your arm. It's a it's a fancy looking face
you got there fella. Wow.
Oh, it's got a 5D5 processor. That's pretty.
They don't make those anymore. Where did you get?
This. Well, if I told you, I'd piss
some people right off, as I'm not exactly supposed to say,
because let's just say a good friend got me a good deal as a
result of doing a good job. Oh, that's got a story.
I like stories. I'll tell you what, You find me
a place around here where I can get a little bit of gulp and
whiskey. I might share a story with you.
Oh. I don't.
You look past retro. To the other side of the
building and they're against some large roof equipment, are
three vending machines and in one of them is some synth
whiskey. Hey, do.
Do we? I didn't catch your name there,
fella. Oh, it's it's revenue.
But most people call me retro. I shake that.
Can I shake that? On No, I did.
I had a pleasure. RIP Handshake's.
Best way to get to know somebody though.
I know that hand ain't got nothing.
You can stab me with it in. Yeah, Retro, if you'll just keep
an eye on particularly on that piece of environment right in
the middle there. Just don't let it catch fire.
I'm going to go interrogate this vending machine over here.
And you head over to the vending machines on the right hand side.
It's all right, Retro. It's nice to see you again.
You probably don't Remember Me because my accent changes all
the time. Yeah, I'll take care of the Meet
me and Remy, the other one. We had a really good time.
Oh, you call him Remedy? You don't worry about it.
You, you, you you did entertain your guests.
Honestly, my treat. OK, well, hey, Trent, you know,
this was a great BBQ. I'm I'm assuming this is a
kibble Patty, which if you reconstitutioned it, you
reconstituted it. Pretty decent.
I mean. Use Christmas kibble so it's all
festive and shit. Yeah, I did taste the the
sparkle crunch in it. It's the one, yeah.
It's like Pop Rocks, but upsetting.
If I if I had an actual mouth to chew with, I would agree with
you, but it's just all just goes in the CD drive.
So here are some burgers for your lot.
Are any of them lot like not synth meat eaters?
Hey, you and you not synth meat eaters.
I will, I will, I will. I will eat it today.
Hey, I eat all the meats, OK? Wait, wait.
Are you a Trent? I'm like Arby's right now.
You know what I mean? Wait, your name's Arby?
No, I have the meats. It's a reference to an early
2000s food chain that got destroyed in the corporate wars.
The very funny if you understand it, you.
Know don't understand it. Sometimes it just goes over my
head. Most things do.
That bad joke is the only thing that goes wrong today.
Then we're in luck, and then you hear Thunder.
Is. Is it?
Is it rain? Is is it going to rain?
No, not today. No, that's.
That's not possible. Not I didn't bring an umbrella.
Everyone rolled. Perception, Retro You are not
paying attention. You're handing out burgers.
You aren't really paying attention.
You just have to look up. Yeah, I kind of hear it.
I kind of look as I'm handing out burgers at the same time
with my other hand, trying to light a joint while I'm doing
everything at the same time. Remington, you're looking at
this vending machine and right in the middle is a small bottle
of whiskey that's been in this machine for four years.
Which means even if it's shit at this point, it's probably better
than the brand new ones as it's just aged in this hermetically
sealed vending machine for four years.
It's only 13 Eddie's with the Christmas discount as part of
the system and you are fascinated by this.
They have kept you cooped up in this prison for far too long,
left for entering. It is time for a jailbreak.
But ASH and Cipher, you look over at where you hear this
Thunder come from, and there on the other side you see a wall of
rain. Oh, oh, Oh no, Oh no, Oh no.
I didn't like a straight. Wall of rain.
Not not just some. Like a absolutely perfectly
straight wall of rain. Now, Cipher, you are paying a
little bit more attention because as the rain falls, you
don't just hear rainfall, you hear a sizzle.
And done. Doesn't sound good AM.
I able to use like deduction or something in order to try to
figure out what this is. What?
What is? Just some rain will be fine.
But I don't. Want to get some wet?
Bacon grease well. Here, we don't take your burgers
like I got to get this mustard. On I think we just take this
like indoors for so many. Reasons.
Towards you. We need to go.
Why? It's probably not.
Typically towards you. Oh, OK.
OK. OK.
Yeah, well, I don't want to burn
my body off. Is there like a burger that's
already there or somewhere like? On the BBQ that is still
burning, there is that piece of meat that Remington put right in
the middle and Trent's taking care of it.
He's standing right in front of it and the wall of rain comes
towards him. No, it's going to be fine
because the machine's powered by gas, so it'll be fine.
If there's a little bit of rain, it'll probably add to the char.
He says as the rain partials over the BBQ have a.
Little time to go, can you? Just like it ignite, the rain
hits the barbecue and a fireball explodes in front of Trent and
he is set on fire. Whoa, no, no, no.
Shit. Take my jacket off.
Yeah, I take my jacket. Oh, no, no.
I'm wearing my sweater. I can't take that off now.
So. You try.
I'm going to go and grab a couch cushion and to be able to like,
try and put him out with it. When you go over to grab the
couch cushion, it is heavily sewn to the sofa.
Trent steps forward, the rain steps forward and the fire from
the rain starts to spread across the rooftop.
Holy. Fuck.
Oh. Oh no.
Holy shit. Stacks.
Fire. Oh no.
OK, I'm going to go inside. I'm Yes.
Just. I'm running.
Meat, even if it's like, literally still on the grill,
doesn't care. And then it's going to try to go
grab it. The The meat is at 10 feet into
this rainbowl well. If it's not, whatever is there,
if there's something for her to grab as far as food.
Oh yeah, no retro's holding a tray of burgers.
Yeah, no. Yeah.
She's going to grab that and then run.
We got to get the hell out of here, man.
Yeah, we got to go. Everybody move, just move.
And I want to like in a commanding type of voice, try
and get everybody to leave. Two of the residents run towards
the elevator, along with some of the other people from the
vending machine. They listen to what you have to
say, but they know this place well, and after going around the
corner, they're gone. You're now still standing here.
The rain approaches even more. It is right behind you.
I am. I'm going to run.
Do so. I'm going to in my my 4 inch
heels. I am going to.
I'm going to run. So you can move how far, He says
in an evil GM voice. I don't.
Know 7. You have a move of seven, so
yeah, when running you can do double that on a grip line, OK?
Wait, I was at the couch. There we go.
Who else is running? I will run, but I'm going to use
my cyber arm to grab Trent Trout Trent.
Trent I'm going to grab Trent
and let a little bit of cable out so it's not going to set me
on fire and drag him along the way.
Roll for it. OK, this is what I get for
trying to be helpful. Oh no, you're rolling dice in
the game. Oh no.
And you fall over the cable sets on fire.
Now unless you do something, you will also be set on fire.
Oh no, let's try. Sorry.
I'm sorry about you. I'm going to release him and let
my cable go back into my arm and hopefully that'll put it out.
You can now move your move to go away if you want, leaving Trent
alone to burn. Cool.
Did you like this in peasy? I tried, I tried.
Cypher What do you do? Grabbed the burger and shoved it
in my mouth and it was running. Just like those little anime
girls where they put the bread in their mouth and they start
running. That's exactly what Cypress do.
Nice Remington. You've almost managed to get
this bottle and as it clinks to the bottom, you pick it up.
You're holding your hand, you turn around and you see fucking
chaos. There's your new friend.
Trent is now on fire on the ground, and as you're looking at
him, the wall of rain passes over him and he emulates even
more and you can see and hear not only fire, but sizzle so
much. I wish it wasn't so.
Inconsequential to the story large see.
What did I tell ya? There's always death.
Well, upon hearing those words from Cipher, how many people are
paying attention to what's going on right here, and how many
people are just fully fucking off?
Everyone else has gone beautiful.
It's just you guys. Love lovely.
What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna crack open that whiskey Viacom
dios. Good friend throw it back and
from my arm I produce my very heavy pistol and it's taken a
couple steps closer and we put one right between trans eyes to
stop his suffering. That's actually fairly noble.
I like that. Very on character and that is
the first inspiration for this side quest.
Well done. You get one of those.
It's not in cyberpunk red, but you can use it at any time to re
roll anything you do or I do. Makes me happy.
Did we hear Remington say this? You are watching him do this.
Yeah, yes, you can see me. My back's turned.
You jump over the sofa to do it. Cypher's going to turn with and
take a bite out of the burger with a salute.
All right, roll your gun to see if you shoot Trent between the
eyes. How beautiful.
That's. I'll give you plus one because
the whiskey was really good that.
Makes you quite happy. There.
Let's see. Let's see.
There we go, 24 Yeah, that's a hit.
He looks at you while still screaming.
The bullet flies across through the rain.
You hear it sizzle as it flies, and it goes straight between his
eyes, cutting his scream halfway, and he drops to the
ground, dead and on fire and sizzling, and the rain moves
forward. I am still going to run.
I'm trying to get to that elevator.
You all head over to the the door to the roof.
Yes, you open the door and you come down the stairs from.
The rooftop. Wait, is Is the cowboy with us?
Absolutely. With us here, Howie.
Partner. I've always wanted to say that
to a real cowboy. Well, now you have, and I'm glad
that I could help you live that goal of yours.
What's your name? Just call me Remington.
EW, that's the name of an ex-boyfriend of mine.
Do you have another name? Not one that I'd like to readily
share. Well, perhaps through meeting my
acquaintance and through my shining personality, you will
replace all memories of said piece of shit with someone far
superior. Oh, I really like you.
That's a deal. It'll be a quick.
Stick on her hand. For a shake it's metal hand in
case it's yours and you get a handshake from it.
And while you're having this lovely moment on this stairway,
you hear give me your fucking money.
You can hear a guy like bashing and bashing on a door,
motherfucker. You owe me so much fucking
money. Give me a.
Oh, that sounds like somebody having a bad day.
I don't. I don't want to deal with this,
but I want to peek around the corner because I'm nosy.
Next time on no latency side quest.
I'd like to still be goddamn eating synthetic meat and
drinking some whiskey on a rooftop, but unfortunately acid
rain came in and fucked up my day, and right now you're
pissing me off. So what are we going to do about
it? Oh, you crossed the line there,
buddy. Do I want to be this old woman
when I grow up? I think we just saw a hail of
bullets. Another one bites the dust.
Cowboy. Oh, is he?
Going to be a problem as he dies.
I found new aspiration in life that was quite impressive.
Just press it harder. I'm.
Going to press it harder. See if that helps.
It's OK, I'm a doctor. OK, we got to go take the
stairs. I know.
Wait, are those red bottoms? Thank you kindly.
Well, they're red now, yeah. You know, there may be acid rain
outside, but that's not going to weather us down.
Yes, I need to get out. There's usually always a back.
Door. It's a Christmas miracle.
You get a free kidney if you want it.
Look at that. You made the kidney pop out of
the dipshit. What are the odds at the
mountain very often? Thank you for joining us on our
