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: Besides, China isn't even very competent.
gollark: You can't really say "bad things happen therefore democracy/capitalism are breaking" without comparing rates of those bad things over time.
gollark: Citing a few examples of bad things is not actually evidence of larger scale trends.
gollark: Apparently they just sit there for ages looking at things with incredibly underpowered eyes (which they're able to get useful images out of via combining images over lots of time or something) and planning, then do things.
gollark: They can do stuff like plan ambushes in advance. Very cool.
