- 1:57nail. It's so much better.
- 2:00It's always better when you do it quick.
- 2:02You know, like a Band-Aid. And they open up this big safe
- 2:05underneath and they pull out this box and they're
- 2:08magnetically floating in a display case.
- 2:10I only have the special edition. Whoa.

- 3:38I know, but pale isn't like the like look.
- 3:43I'm I'm a doctor and. The coat gives it away.
- 3:48Yes, and your your skin kind of has a bit of that like that very
- 3:55pale look to it where maybe you look like it could be something
- 3:58like anemia or just like lack of vitamin D or things like that.
- 4:03God damn it, I'm just going to pay the 1500.
- 4:10Tracy, Tracy Tracy I as as your as your coach manager on this, I
- 4:17say you fight to use first key instead doesn't need to doesn't.
- 4:22Need to. That's an 18.
- 4:23That's really good. I scanned me and it's.

- 4:44Night City. I I understand but you should
- 4:46try to make time and and budget for it because it's very
- 4:51important. And she pulls out the Med
- 4:53scanner and looks up and down. So quiet scare.

- 5:04actually. Roll, roll, roll for it.
- 5:06Roll. Roll for it.

- 5:18Yeah, you have an iron deficiency, but you know that
- 5:24start. Yeah, yeah, it starts small, but
- 5:26that could one day evolve into a full-fledged anemia if you're
- 5:30not careful. So make sure you take your
- 5:34supplements. Thanks doc.
- 5:37And thanks for not being mean about it.

- 7:02Pierce, Buchanan, and then #16 Lincoln.
- 7:06You made-up like half of those. I'm pretty.

- 7:21Monroe, Adams, Jackson, Van Buren.
- 7:24First one was signed that Declaration of Independence,
- 7:25John. The van is right there.
- 7:27BB's here. You have the big box, BB.
- 7:29That's cool. Look.
- 7:30What I got? I got new hollowware.
- 7:34Is it on? No, it's in its box.
- 7:37I have to you have to like install it and stuff and set it
- 7:39up but. Toys.
- 7:42It's pretty cool. I basically get a hollow outfit,
- 7:48well two with two additional outfits as well.
- 7:51You download it, you download it from your agent to the device
- 7:56and it essentially makes cool hollowware that I can wear only.
- 8:02Works with agents. Checks a hologram around you.
- 8:06Yes. How does it do that?
- 8:09I'm a Med. I know the word tech is in my
- 8:12name. Med tech.
- 8:13I'm only specializing in the medical field here.
- 8:17Retro. You're you're the tech guy.
- 8:20Is it? A tiny little cameras with.
- 8:23It. No, it's just those bracelets.
- 8:25See look in the diagram on the box.
- 8:27Are you naked underneath? Yeah, you just naked underneath.
- 8:30It's not what anybody who wears clothes.
- 8:34Designs to wear over clothing can be transparent.
- 8:39Well, that's fine. It goes with outfits in some
- 8:43ways. I haven't decided.
- 8:45I haven't decided how I'm going to style it yet, so I'm going to
- 8:49look through the catalogue and download a couple.
- 8:52We'll see. Change your outfit in seconds.
- 8:54These are so cool. Yes.
- 8:56So it's. Like a wearable screen kinda.
- 9:00I guess. Yes.
- 9:02Pretty neat. Which also the effects of if
- 9:06there's ever like an EMP or a microwaver, you know, I'll be
- 9:12naked. Well, I guess if I'm going to
- 9:15wear something underneath the you'll.
- 9:16Be cold I'll. Be cold.
- 9:19Beauty. I have a question.
- 9:20If you can make holographic clothing which is projected
- 9:25around you, which means there's going to be at least several
- 9:27tiny microcameras around that, could you reverse engineer it so
- 9:30it's kind of like a stealth suit and it would just reflect
- 9:34everything around you, so you would just merge in with
- 9:37whatever. Once again, retro, the word, the
- 9:41name, the word tech is in Med tech.
- 9:46It's also. Still in the box and she hasn't
- 9:48used it yet. You.
- 9:49Know if you want to take a look at it retro and see if you can
- 9:51makeshift something. I will.
- 9:53As long as you don't break it. OK, well.
- 9:59Something something sacrificed to the machine gods in order to
- 10:03get inspiration. I'll help the Aunt Messiah.
- 10:07OK, let's get in the car. By the way, what happened to
- 10:14that Lady? What?
- 10:15Oh, she's fine. It means PBN just.
- 10:18Painted, yeah. Oh, is that?
- 10:20Is that the name, that old thing?
- 10:21Yeah. The assassin guy that you guys
- 10:24went to talk to tried to assassinate her with a biotoxin
- 10:27and I saved her life. A what?
- 10:29A Biotoxin. Yeah, yeah.
- 10:32And it's probably our boy Danny Darkseid.
- 10:35He's pretty pissed at her. Probably that guy.
- 10:39It's Mr. Darkseid. I hate fucking Danny, he's such
- 10:42a loser in college. Well, he's a good kisser.

- 21:04As the night goes, while Retro is bringing, maybe, I don't know
- 21:10if there's a point where he drinks the second dwarf, he's
- 21:12just going to have the cup open and just stab it with the straw
- 21:15and eat it. Like it's like a what's a
- 21:18toothpick, right? It was like toothpicking into
- 21:21his mouth and then having drinks everyone, every little bit
- 21:24because he's really high. There are people dancing.
- 21:27Does anyone don't? Yeah, maybe he's going

- 21:33X but without the downside. Who's dancing?
- 21:36Me. I will stand right outside of
- 21:41the the dancing area with my wheat grass and I will gently
- 21:48sway along. Yes.
- 21:50Oh yeah, I'm just snowing hands all the time.
- 21:52I'm. Just you're dancing at the glass
- 21:53market has given you some extra skill on the dance floor and you
- 21:57do a little spin and people start to sort of doing some cool
- 22:02moods. Bebe you're all pretty mid,
- 22:06probably mid, but you rolled over mid at 13 and so your dance
- 22:10moves are becoming Shall We Stand and it it invites a lot of
- 22:15other people to get up onto the floor.
- 22:17Do any of the other players start dancing, Jeff?
- 22:20Oh yeah, I would say I, I, I danced 15 about.
- 22:25Oh, you did roll. I'm sorry.
- 22:26Yes, you roll A-15 and oh, that's pretty high.
- 22:30So. It's not, it's not quite, as you
- 22:33know, fantastic as my last dance in the last episode.
- 22:37Jeb, one of the other patrons. Little.
- 22:44Pink Bob with two pink ponytails and she's just doing a little
- 22:48shimmy towards you. That's a good role, man.
- 22:50You've you've gained a dance partner here in the Bubble Cafe.
- 22:54And Jeb is completely oblivious, but it is like, oh, you want to
- 22:58dance? All right, yeah, come on.
- 23:00And. She starts to get a little bit
- 23:02closer to you. Joe.
- 23:05Human perception. This is fun.
- 23:11Without really anyone noticing, Iona is doing the most amazing
- 23:17dance and it distracts Jeb as he rolls a crit, fails, falls over
- 23:20and you fall over on this trip. You've fallen on her, now she's
- 23:29you're now on top of her as she's trying to get up.
- 23:33Sophie, could you please, ma'am? I, I, I apologize.
- 23:37It was, you know, he's got 2 left feet sometimes.
- 23:41Excuse. You.
- 23:42No, no. I I, I Yes, I am excused.
- 23:46She leaves the room. Well.
- 23:48And you've actually like, she leaves.
- 23:50Oh boy. Well damn, Jeb.
- 23:54I I I don't really know, sorry. It would be a vibe guilt, but I
- 23:58think you just have to dance through it.
- 24:00Yeah, what happened? You don't high enough on
- 24:02dancing, you get up and this chick, she walks away and carry
- 24:05on dancing. Yeah, I'm not going to live
- 24:07there. Stop me, you know.
- 24:10Bendel is also dancing, I'm sure skating around.
- 24:14Bendel's doing a little trick on the tables and starts doing
- 24:16little pirouettes with fresh pee.
- 24:18Hi. I'm drunk at the end of.
- 24:23Myself, I'm just drunk do do that sachet and then the slide
- 24:26movie did back at the at the at the at the market.
- 24:29But there's one. Yeah, yeah, that's the one.
- 24:34That's the one. See, see.
- 24:36Totally forgot all about whatever happened.
- 24:37I I missed it. You rolling dunks?
- 24:40Oh again. Yes, Well, I suppose I can
- 24:44library search about that. Don't worry about that.
- 24:51OK, so while doing this dance, you do this really terrible mime
- 24:56of looking through a bookcase, pushing the two books aside and
- 24:59trying to dance through it. And then you trace your hands
- 25:02down your chest and you put them on your hips and your keys are
- 25:05missing. And then you do a little step
- 25:07down, another push and you put your hand again and your keys
- 25:10are missing and and your keys are missing.
- 25:12Wait do your keys are missing? Oh no, they're Van Dale.
- 25:19Yes. You got my keys right?
- 25:22No. Oh, did you drop them when you
- 25:23fell over? It was really funny.
- 25:25Oh. That was it.
- 25:26That must have been it. I'm looking.
- 25:27Take a look around. I got to be around.
- 25:29Here so all my section. As you go to look under one of
- 25:34the tables, you put your hand under one of the tables, and as
- 25:37you pull your hand away, it's covered in freshly chewed bubble
- 25:39gums, the same gum that that chick was chewing.
- 25:43Oh my. Oh, she's definitely going to
- 25:45think I'd like him a creep now. Oh, Jase, how?
- 25:52You. Sticky.
- 25:54OK, OK, OK. So I have one of them, one of
- 25:57them trackers on my keys or they just straight up, you know, 1966
- 26:03Volkswagen keys. I am going to ask you honestly,
- 26:07Spoon, do you think Jeff would do?
- 26:09That God? No.
- 26:13But would have one of us have done it?
- 26:15Right, right. Well.
- 26:16I didn't think about it, so no. I, I don't, I'm going to be real
- 26:21dude. I don't think he did.
- 26:23No, I mean that. You stand up and you've realized
- 26:28during this time that you lost your keys.
- 26:32Oh boy, Cybertopia is back and it's
- 26:46going punk. And after the Corpse threw them
- 26:51under the bus, our former amazing Corpse agents are trying
- 26:54to make sense of it all and find their place in the world once
- 26:57more. Last thing.
- 26:58I. Remember.
- 27:00The OP was going. Fine.
- 27:02And then? Everything.
- 27:03Exploded. So it's time to recover.
- 27:05I mean, hey, so far I've been hungover, beaten up, stole food.
- 27:10Had an hour and a half. Hike dragged myself half to
- 27:13death, got zapped half back to life.
- 27:16Everything's fine. Rebuild.
- 27:18Well, I can dispense eggs again, but the lemonade dispenser is
- 27:23doing steak sauce. And we can connect with friends
- 27:26old and new. Well, well, well, let's be
- 27:30trash. Fortunately though, not
- 27:33everything has been lost. The T dispenser still works.
- 27:37Search for Cybertopia AP anywhere you find your podcast.
- 27:46Oh boy. Jeff's everything OK?
- 27:51You're looking a little stressed over there.
- 27:53Yeah, yeah. You know, I think I got, I think
- 27:58I got, got, don't got my keys no more.
- 28:02You don't want to. Throw up.
- 28:04Well, Vanna White's keys, they even either took us or I lost
- 28:10them. I don't know which one's worse.
- 28:15Oh, you've lost the keys to Vanna White.
- 28:19Now there is a spare, but I'm going to be honest with you, I
- 28:22have no idea where they are. Well, should we see a Vanna
- 28:26White's still outside? Yeah.
- 28:28We probably should. Go and look.
- 28:33Let's go take a look. Oh jeez.
- 28:40Oh, Jeb. Oh God.
- 28:43Oh no, no. Jeez, stress.
- 28:46Oh dear Lord, no. Jeb gets down on his knees.
- 28:50No, please. All the stuff was in there,
- 28:53Bebe's new outfit or the guns. No, somebody call the police.
- 29:03They, they, they, they got to be, you know, tapped into the,
- 29:06into the CCTV rather they, they got to hear something.
- 29:09NCPD are so unhelpful. Well then wait retro, how about
- 29:13you patch into the CCTV? Retro is high as fuck right?
- 29:22Now no Chase Anna King. Retro is is essentially on Super
- 29:29X right now. Has no idea.
- 29:33What's going on and see what the resist torture is.
- 29:35Sure. Because then also it'll teach me
- 29:39what I'm going to have to be. Nice.
- 29:44Great. Success and resist torture drugs
- 29:46and you have a level head and you gain all the benefits and
- 29:48none of the problems I. Still don't understand what
- 29:52they're saying. Everything's all mush.
- 29:54And then I look and I'm like where's where's Vanna White?
- 29:57And it I'm instantly sober, breaks, sobers me up.
- 30:01I'm like oh shit, fuck, I lost my high.
- 30:06What happened? It looks like someone took Vanna
- 30:11White. Park.
- 30:12Didn't you park right? Here, Vanna White is stolen
- 30:14because Jeb lost the keys. I lost the keys.
- 30:17Where the hell did you lose the keys We.
- 30:19Well, if I knew where I lost them, they wouldn't be lost,
- 30:21would? They on the dance floor, that's
- 30:24it had to be because what, somebody pickpocketed you or
- 30:28something? Oh Christ, I must wait a minute.
- 30:31Oh no. Did that fail with consequences?
- 30:37Look, this happens all the time. I would never have expected it
- 30:40to happen at the Bubble Cafe, first of all, but at some shady
- 30:43clubs people will get close to you, get all up on you, start
- 30:48dancing, and then they pickpocket you and steal you for
- 30:50everything. Wait, Chad, do you still have
- 30:52your wallet? Does anyone know who it was?
- 30:55Well, there was a lady with a pink pigtails.
- 30:59I don't know if anybody knows her, but she got she, you know,
- 31:04come to think of it, she did get a little handsy.
- 31:06OK, here's here's the big thing we need.
- 31:09We need to discuss actually, not only did we just buy a bunch of
- 31:14stuff, especially also that money that was given to us.
- 31:19Oh no, there's money in an ammo case.
- 31:22All the money. Iona, did you bring that with
- 31:24you inside? No, why would I bring an?
- 31:26Ammo case inside. Pink zombie pink.
- 31:29Zombie didn't have the ammo case.
- 31:31I left my backpack in there so I don't have any guns.
- 31:36Oh, nice sidearm. But yeah, I.
- 31:37Don't what sidearm I don't carry.
- 31:40You don't carry a sidearm retro. What's wrong with you?
- 31:41This is Night City. I carry a sidearm.
- 31:44I carry. AI carry a sidearm.
- 31:46I've got a shotgun and A and a assault rifle.
- 31:49I wonder if you see me? I got my.
- 31:53All right, so basically. Do you still have yours?
- 31:56I mean, yeah, these things never come off.
- 32:00I'm not the one who needs to be admonished because I don't carry
- 32:02a sidearm. I didn't lose the keys.
- 32:05So true. OK, maybe we do two things at
- 32:09once. 1/2 of us go try to find the person that robbed Jeb, see
- 32:14if they're still there, and then the others try to find a way to
- 32:18track down Vanna White. I can track Vanna White.
- 32:23I've had a tracer on Vanna White.
- 32:25Oh, how do you? We since we left the silo the
- 32:30first time. Oh, that's, that's good to hear.
- 32:33OK, so is it just like on your phone?
- 32:35Yeah, well, it's in my Chiron. Yeah, I can follow it via my
- 32:38Chiron. OK, let.
- 32:40Me see, I I actually, I turn it on right now.
- 32:44Find my Ivan. That's funny.
- 32:48Does it tell me how far? You are using a tracking service
- 32:53and there's a queue, so you'll find out in a little bit.
- 32:55Roll for it. Oh nice, yes the system works
- 32:59fine and you will get a ping back on where it's location and
- 33:03a live continued update once you get to the front of the queue in
- 33:07about 5 minutes is what it says. Man, and it had to happen at
- 33:10this amount of time when carjackings are up 14%.
- 33:13Yeah but also it's around about when all the clubs close so I
- 33:17bet you a bunch of people are like oh fuck where did I park my
- 33:19car suck it's only 5 minutes. No, I'm totally with you on
- 33:22that. I just it sucks when you're
- 33:24stuck in the queue having to wait for you're paying to come
- 33:26back. Right.
- 33:28OK, while we're waiting for that, Phoebe, you had another
- 33:30idea. Yes, Jeb, come with me.
- 33:33OK. Let's go back inside and help me
- 33:37identify the pink haired girl. Well, they they left.
- 33:41OK, they left. Left.
- 33:43Well, yeah, she, she, she walked right out this door right here,
- 33:47which would make sense because, you know if.
- 33:50She took the. Car she.
- 33:51Took the car. Yeah, OK.
- 33:54Hey, don't the doesn't the bubble cafe like have a a
- 33:59receipt system? So if she bought anything with.
- 34:02Digital cameras at all? Let me talk to the owner.
- 34:07But just to be, you know, we all we, we didn't did the CCTV idea
- 34:11that there went nowhere. Oh.
- 34:13That's a good idea, Jeff. Yeah, I thought, yeah.
- 34:16You know, I, you guys, I'm, I'm really sorry.
- 34:19I really feel like this is my fault.
- 34:21OK, Right, Jeb. It can happen to any of us.
- 34:23From what it sounds, Jeb, you got honey Potters.
- 34:25You know, it's just, you know, it's just the one thing I really
- 34:28care about. I got there's, there's three
- 34:30things I care about in this world more than more.
- 34:32It's it's, it's my my guns, my bird and my car.
- 34:39We'll get her back. Thank you guys.
- 34:42I appreciate. It don't worry, Jeb.
- 34:44And Sloan flies down, lands on your shoulder.
- 34:48Oh. Sloan, baby.
- 34:49Oh, I know. Well, hold on.
- 34:52Sloan, did you see anything you did?
- 34:56Well, which way which have you? You see, Vanda?
- 34:58Why? Where'd she go?
- 35:03And it's just very complicated directions that you don't quite
- 35:06get but take a little bit of time.
- 35:07And in that time, Phoebe heads inside to talk to an Alice.
- 35:11Hi. This is.
- 35:16This is kind of awkward, but I. Know song.
- 35:19I'll change it. I'm sorry.
- 35:20No, no. Music's great vibes are great,
- 35:24however unfortunately there seems like there's some shady
- 35:29patrons that have been making their way in here because we
- 35:34were robbed. No.
- 35:37Oh, come on. Yes, was the body.
- 35:41Blood. Oh no, he was dealing with that
- 35:43gold guy. Yeah, well, me and my friends
- 35:49were dancing and my friend Jeb was dancing with this pink
- 35:52haired girl. Like pink pigtails I think he
- 35:55said. She stole his keys and took our
- 36:00car. Yeah, the Maelstrom chick.
- 36:03All right. Maelstrom Chick.
- 36:06Yeah. God damn it.
- 36:08Not them again. OK, OK, She's Maelstrom.
- 36:12Do we have any? You don't by chance have a
- 36:15receipt or maybe some CCT VS we can look at.
- 36:19Yeah, sure. And.
- 36:20They tap on the computer right in front of them and they spin
- 36:24it around and they show you the screen.
- 36:26When did it happen? There's a little scrub bar.
- 36:29Like 15 minutes ago or so. OK.
- 36:31They scrub back. Oh, here's where Jeff fell over.
- 36:36Maybe laughs. And then and Alice looks at you
- 36:39as you giggle and rewinds it and then does it in slow motion back
- 36:41and forth. Oh wait, wait, wait.
- 36:45In the middle of this one. Look, if you slow motion you can
- 36:47see our hand go in his pocket. Oh shit.
- 36:52In out. Shake it all up.
- 36:53Out. I'm sorry.
- 36:56Oh, man. OK, That she, she's good.
- 36:58Yeah, she got him. You know, some people would have
- 37:02to roll for that kind of thing, but if you crit fail, I guess
- 37:04it's just that easy. Yeah.
- 37:09OK, well. It happened to me today too.
- 37:14OK. Well, she's with Maelstrom.
- 37:17Yeah, that's helpful. They're local, they're a few
- 37:21blocks away. Do you know where they're near?
- 37:23Where they're little bits. Further South, near the nearest
- 37:28the combat zone, the chop stop there.
- 37:30Sorry, the chop stop is on the other side of the wall.
- 37:34He probably had to tell Sunrise before they cut that vehicle
- 37:38into pieces and sell it for parts.
- 37:39Oh. Boy, OK.
- 37:43I'm sorry, I'll, I'll make sure the bodyguard does a better job
- 37:46of vetting people in the future. Or I could fire him.
- 37:49It's really up to you. You're one of the business
- 37:50owners. No, no, it's all right.
- 37:52These things happen. Thanks.
- 37:55Dale, Dale, thin ice. You let a maelstrom in.
- 38:00Oh. Fuck not.
- 38:01Not pink hair. Yeah.
- 38:04You think I've noticed something like that?
- 38:06Wait wait, was pink hair formed out?
- 38:09Nope. And their maelstrom.
- 38:10Yeah, just pause. Yeah.
- 38:12Interesting. Thanks and Alice for your help.
- 38:18A great party. Thanks for throwing it do.
- 38:21You want any drinks to go? Yeah, you know what I think the
- 38:25whole crew could probably use, just not the one that was super
- 38:30had the dwarfs in it. Let's give you.
- 38:32Another dwarf. Let's get something a little
- 38:35more tame. And and Alice looks at you and
- 38:38gives you a little wink. Yeah, I'll put dwarfs in it.
- 38:41Welcome in protection. If you want to see that retro,
- 38:43you are very far away. You are very far.
- 38:46Away through a. Door.
- 38:50No, I trust Phoebe that they would not go back.
- 38:54And you know, physically, I don't know, saying that wrong.
- 39:00Deny me my fuck. Yes, because I haven't taken
- 39:04Phoebe's done that before with your previous addiction.
- 39:07So there's a bunch of them that put out, they hand you this
- 39:10little bag that has a holder for each of the drinks so they'll
- 39:13handle and then hands you a little another little packet.
- 39:17Here's some caffeine if anybody needs to know this.
- 39:18Oh. Thank you.
- 39:20Phoebe grabs the drinks, walks outside with like walk in.
- 39:24You hear the ice like climbing across it like and she's walking
- 39:27with the drinks. All right, so I got some news.
- 39:34Are you all ready for the good news is OK, I'll start with the
- 39:38good news. The good news is we got some
- 39:39drinks for it to go. You got me Dorf, right?
- 39:44Yes, all. Right.
- 39:45I'm going to have to have that afterwards.
- 39:47I have to have a good mind on this, but it's going to be my
- 39:49treat later. The bad news is the girl who
- 39:54stole the keys from Jeb is a part of Maelstrom.
- 39:59Oh fuck. Him again.
- 40:04Jeb, Jeb, yourself up. Jeb, I didn't know you were such
- 40:07into board types. Oh, I'm learning.
- 40:09No, no, it wouldn't like that, did she?
- 40:12She looked regular. Did.
- 40:14She look regular. Yeah.
- 40:17And she's maybe. Maybe she's like a lackey or
- 40:20something. Maybe they send people in to
- 40:22infiltrate. Don't look bored out.
- 40:25It could also. Be like a an initiation thing.
- 40:29Is it? Maybe or.
- 40:31Just really well hidden, you know?
- 40:33As far as what I knew from on the streets like Maelstrom's
- 40:36very much on the you know, all, all metal flesh is weak type of
- 40:40thing, so. We had loads of cycle there in
- 40:45the land. I hope they don't.
- 40:46Steal. It from us.
- 40:49The other sort of mid mid news, not good or bad is there is a
- 40:53maelstrom hideout not too far from here, which is probably
- 40:58where they went. But it's like teetering the edge
- 41:01of the combat zone. It's I think it's in the combat
- 41:04zone and we should probably get there before the morning or
- 41:07they're going to scrap Vanna white.
- 41:09No, Jeff, no one's claiming you. But Retro's screen just did go
- 41:19red. What?
- 41:22Oh, is that just the drugs? And now Retro's face gone back
- 41:28to black, but everything else is red.
- 41:31All right, it's time to move out.
- 41:32Then let's go. What was that?
- 41:37What the the the red screen I? Don't know what you're talking
- 41:41about. Come on, let's go.
- 41:43I don't know where this queue is, but if we know where the.
- 41:45I'm gonna ask for us. We got bigger fish.
- 41:46Getting things at let's just, let's just go.
- 41:48And it gives you a location on the edge of the combat zone,
- 41:52just beyond a wall. Wonderful.
- 41:56So we all have weapons except for Retro who doesn't carry a
- 42:00sidearm. I'm not going to need it.
- 42:17Next time on no latency all. Right, looks like we got a ping.
- 42:24Great, that means we can walk, doesn't it?
- 42:26We. Got to go and we got to go right
- 42:28now. Vanna White is going to be OK.
- 42:30We don't got much time and and and she she going to get.
- 42:32Hurt. Don't worry Jeb, we are going to
- 42:34figure this out. Now we got a little bit of time.
- 42:36That is unbridled joy all. Right.
- 42:38Well, they're doing that. Phoebe, can you go inside do?
- 42:41You have a bag for these by chance?
- 42:43Kind of a lot I'm. Literally clever.
- 42:45I wish smart like you. Oh, I like where you're going
- 42:49with this. Oh yes, to all the pain with
- 42:52alcohol. Well, that's exactly what I
- 42:54needed. Yes, for Jeb.
- 42:55So just to be clear, don't get wet.
- 42:57No. Maybe.
- 42:58No, Maybe no. Oddly suspicious.
- 43:00Good. All the jig is up.
- 43:02It would end any problems yet? We know you're here.
- 43:05I've got some homemade door. Oh wow, no one ever saw that
- 43:10coming. All of you.
