Main Story quest "Talkie Talkie" glitch? (Spoilers)

After Kinzie is taken, you get a main story quest called "Talkie Talkie" with only objectives to go talk to Matt.

However, when you speak to Matt, he only says his generic lines and the "Talkie Talkie" quest either completes itself or disappears and you get the next quest, "The Girl who Hates the 50s"

As seen in the following video:

Is there anything specific that should happen during "Talkie Talkie"? or was it something that was removed but the quest is still there?

Only other thing I can think of is the game trying to force you to do optional missions for Matt to get some more updates, but I already did all the optional missions... so it is kind of confusing to me. :X
 
I had the same thing happen to me. I even reloaded to see if I did something by mistake. I'm also wondering if it was intentional.
 
There's a bunch of people on Steam and GameFAQs asking about this too.

Every walkthrough on youtube shows the same thing, whether or not Matt's sidequests has already been started.

One interesting thing I noticed is that this Quest isn't even listed in the Brady guide.
The Quests are listed on page 24, and "Girl who hates the 50s" is on page 122 - they just completely ignore Talkie Talkie, as if it wasn't supposed to be there.
 
It's just a misallocated voice line. I believe there actually is a certain scenario where the correct voice line will play but it's so far off the beaten path it just hasn't come up.

I'd like to get this fixed as well. Email time!
 
Sorry Ellix, it's not a misallocated voice line or a glitch of any kind.

That is an intended seperate objective as part of crit path. It's the same type of objective as the "Talk to X" ones that are a part of the side quests. If I recall the audio, I think there's supposed to be a gameplay padding joke in there somewhere.

What is he supposed to say? I thought him just saying a random line was the actual joke.
 
For reference, and to ensure we're all on the same page, this is what happens for me:
  • Matt says "If it's not too much trouble, I need to better familiarize myself with how the simulation works. I figure if I watch the changes to the code take place when you do a few different tasks for me, I should get a stronger grasp on the workings of Zin programming."
  • Then the Boss says: "Fine, but I better get something outta this."
  • Then the quest is marked as completed.
It would make sense if there was a game-padding joke instead of this, because it's just the same conversation which happens for Matt's first side quest.

The misallocation is that it's not playing the line it's supposed to play (a game-padding joke).

I am mistaken in that there could be a line there, apparently all lines referencing mm_6_0 are no longer in the voice tool. There was one, at one point, but... I don't know. Voice is very confusing. I'll talk to someone about this and figure out where it went and what the hell happened.
 
I know the description for the quest in the log (upper right corner) definitely says something to the effect of it being extra padding..
