Plot

While stuck in a traffic jam, Dante and Randal have another philosophical, pop culture-laden conversation — this one sparked when Randal asks Dante what he would hypothetically sacrifice in exchange for marketing rights to a flying car from The Jetsons. The hypothetical scenarios Randal continues to suggest grow increasingly ridiculous, culminating in Dante agreeing to have his foot cut off with a hacksaw, get knocked out, and get molested by the German inventor and his friends in exchange for the flying car. Randal expresses disgust that Dante would do it with a bunch of guys to get a car.

Cast
gollark: I know, it's ridiculous, they should have socketed memory chips on the DIMMs.
gollark: I also can't get Linux to recognize the existence of the power button, but that's not a huge issue.
gollark: The display can rotate 180 degrees because of a neat hinge mechanism, but it also has a TN panel which is barely viewable 45 degrees off the right angle.
gollark: There are access panels on the bottom for the RAM and disk, suggesting they wanted to make it easy to maintain, but it also has some bizarre plastic clip things which are very annoying to remove.
gollark: Only one DIMM is soldered, there's an empty slot, it is very weird.
