It's us, the same people who have hosted this show forever. We're going to... So obviously, this is after Thanksgiving. We're all fresh out of that holiday spirit. Yeah. So no thanks we're given. There's no thanks at all. But I do want to say today, the day on the day we were happening to be recording this is the day that all these Spotify raps are going up. A lot of people are like, showing like hey look snark tank was my top podcast or my second most viewed podcast for those people who

if we are your second most listened to podcast you're not doing good enough you're not helping enough you might as well not have listened at all quite frankly like i'm kind of pissed that you would have the audacity to share that with knowing that we were number two on your list is crazy so i've got all of your names you put your credit card information on the site i have it i i can will, I know who you are and I'll fucking, I'll ruin you. We're coming. So, but thank you to everybody who had us at number one. Those are the people who actually matter.

Yeah, number one and third. Thank you. Yeah, yeah. Thank you. Yeah, yeah. Thank you. Number two is the first loser, man. That's insulting.

Yeah, right. It's up like, number, people who had us at number four, that's okay. We understand. That's okay. Number five, that's insulting. Number two, that's insulting. Number three, I don't have strong feelings about. So, just figure out.

how you're going to go through life with that information. Yeah, I'm not a big fan of you guys. One thing, so one thing I want to bring up before we get into questions here because we obviously missed the holiday, we got a lot of questions. The question thread is fucking insane.

So, we're going to meander through it, but I did want to bring this up before we continue, because I saw it and it immediately bothered me. Yeah. So I don't know if this is real. And part of me thought like this has got to be AI, because this is so stupid.

But I saw a comic book cover of Miles Morales, right? So I don't know how old it is. I don't know if it's super recent or whatever. Yeah. There's a Miles Morales comic book cover where he is holding an electric sword. And I saw it and I was like, there's no way they just gave Spider-Man a fucking electric sword that is so fucking stupid that I can't believe it. No, it's very real.

It's very real. That's so fucking, that's real? Very real. Where's the... I don't know, man. He already can, like, shoot, like, just got his hand and shit, like, whatever, you know? Do you see what I'm saying here where he's basically a super... He's more of a super saan than he's a Spider-Man?

Like, this is ridiculous. No. Not really? He has all of Spider-Man's powers, too, so he's definitely... Yeah, but that's like one percent of his abilities. He's Spider-Spiderman's electric powers. That's all it is. No, he's Goku who can stick to walls.

It's getting fucking ridiculous. Now he can summon a sword and have pure energy. That's fucking Vigito, dude. That's crazy. Pretty cool. That is an anime level bullshit. It's like the point where it's like, I think that's cool shit, dude.

I think it's so fucking lame. It just, it feels so unspired. There's nothing spidery about that. There's nothing really spidery about it. That's true, but they're like, there's nothing baddie about Batman.

You know, there's, nothing really like, I don't know, man. Superman, every, everyone is super has powers. At least Batman looks like a bat, you know what I mean? At least that is true. Yeah, Spider-Man has webs on his clothes, you know? Like, yeah.

I mean, if Batman's, look, man, you'll hear the same complaint out of me the second Batman starts floating in the air. The moment Batman started not, I stopped with respect to Batman's when Batman decided to dodge dark sides on mega beams. That thing, it's in the very beginning of that comic era, they're like, yo even Flash can't get rid of these Flash was running for days from them and he had to run into

Darkside for them to stop following you Batman did a backflip Are you talking about the animated series? Both of them. It was in the crisis event and an animated series And I was like, I don't fucking, he got No no he got no no no no no He dodged the first one

Then he got hit the second time And he got set back in time And I was like this is stupid This is stupid Fair enough. I don't know. Flash can run through time and he can't get away from that. That's always been the big criticism of Batman that even as a kid,

I'm a kid watching the animated series as it's live. Like, it's actually premiering. And I got a little bit bored because there was only, like, out of all the episodes, maybe two times where he was actually in trouble. And every other time, like, I mean actually in trouble where you're like, oh, shit, I don't know how he's going to get out of this. But you already know every other time it's like some stupid bullshit's going to happen where it's getting out of it.

I remember when I stopped watching for a long time was because Harley Quinn had him dead to rights. Harley Quinn hit this motherfucker, knocked him out, hung him upside down, and there was a tank full of piranhas. Like he's done. He's done. And then he just says, oh, you shouldn't kill me now. Joker would be pissed. Oh, you're right. And then she takes him down while she's waiting for him to show up. I fucking lost my mind.

And then he explains later. He explains later. When she took me down, I regained, like, you know, the blood rush into his head, like, left him incapacitated, essentially. But once she dropped me down, I was able to slip up. I was like, fuck this show. Fuck everything about Batman. No, you weren't. So bad.

I was so fucking upset that, like, I wanted to see Batman. get eaten by piranhas. That's great. That's so insane. That would have just been the end of the show. It's just like so unsuramination. I understand, like, look, man, I don't care about comic but characters generally because of a lot of that stuff.

Like, I like Batman aesthetically, right? And I like kind of the vibe of Batman, but I don't really, I don't like the, I don't like that he's so invincible. Like, that whole like, oh, with Peptine, he could fucking kill Galactus. And it's like, shut up. I hate this. It's so dumb. The Justice League.

Doom, that was like the premise of that where he had a contingency plan. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, right. I understand having contingency. I understand that he's being, he's so well prepared that he has contingency plans for everybody, but they shouldn't all just be flawless fucking, like they shouldn't all just work

without a fucking hitch. It's insane. For me, I don't agree. But like, but the thing to me, it's like the reason, I don't know, man, I'm the, the Miles thing is this, right? This is what it is right. If Spider-Man was created, Miles is what happened, is Peter Parker, Spider-Man's powers that were created in modern time.

Miles is what happens if Spider-Man was an anime, is what it is. If modern Spider-Man, if Spider-Man can stick to walls. He's anime, man. He's an anime, he can use electricity powers. Miles Browns is an anime character. That's the same thing. Those are the same root of powers. Do you not

agree? Do you not agree that's like the same level? He's just modern Spider-Man. If Spider-Man was made in modern time, 100%. Because there's something about modern spiders that create fucking electric swords. No, no, Chris. Chris, no Chris. As an anime character. He's like Goku where it's like, I'm a kid who's really good at martial arts and I got a tail.

But also now I'm an alien. Also now I'm a god. Also now I'm like I'm doing all this shit. It's like, look, look. You're an anime character. Well, that's what happens, right? When characters are for a long time. You're an anime character.

If they're power, if they continue to exist, you usually add more powers to them and more things they can do to make, to keep them somewhat spicy for people that are going to keep reading them. Because that's why Peter Parker is so boring now because Peter Parker has been the same nigga for 60 years. The guy's comics are boring as shit I don't think that's a problem though I don't think Sherlock Holmes needs to be a telepath

For him to be interesting No no no no Sherlock Holmes has an electric story The exact same kind of life That Spider-Man does though I think it's pretty different No but what I'm saying is like A character remaining grounded for a long period of time Isn't a bad thing

And I'm like I'm kind of annoyed at the idea that like Oh we need to add like a fucking Miles doesn't become ungrounded Because he has electric powers It's fucking That doesn't mean shit in a world where niggas like fucking hope are running around. Look, look, look, look, look, look. That don't mean shit.

Look, I'm officially, as of this moment, I'm on the hate train for this guy. Like, I don't like him. I don't like this character anymore. I really cannot say, he's Ben 10. This is a Ben 10-ass character. Every issue he's just going to have, like, at some point, he's just going to be able to fly. Like, he will fly. I promise you, I will put money down in the next five years, Miles and

Alice can fly. I promise you. I'm so sure because there's a spider in the fucking Australia that like can go really high up and so... Hello, hello, I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Smart Talks with IBM. I recently sat down with IBM's chairman and CEO

Arvin Krishna. And I asked him how can companies use AI to its fullest potential to create smarter business? My one advice to that. Big areas you can scale. Don't pick the shiny little toys on the side. For example.

If anybody has more than 10% of what they had for customer service 10 years ago, they're already five years behind it. If anybody is not using AI to make their developers who write software 30% more productive today, with the goal of being 70% more productive. Yeah. Wow. So we are not asking our clients to be the first experiment on it. We say you can leverage what we did.

We're happy to bring out all our learnings, including what needs to change in the process, because the biggest change is not technology, is getting people to accept that there's a different way to do things. To listen to the full conversation, visit IBM.com slash smart talks. All right, quick quiz for the hiring managers out there. What's worse?

I'm sure.

I'm sure. I'm positive, in fact. Well, man. It's just what happens, man. I guess. We do the characters. All of them. Didn't happen to Peter all, but like.

It happened to Peter a bunch. You remember when Peter probably turned into a giant spider demon? You mean when he was sick and it wasn't a power? What are you talking about? No, when he turned into a gigantic, when he fought Morloon and Morloon killed him and then Peter went into cocoon. Came with the cocoon ate Morloon's face. And it's all stupid. It's all so stupid.

I hate it. I hate it. That was a sick era of Spider-Man, bro, because Spider-Man was boring then. Because crawling on walls in a world with me because you're such an eight-year-old with that. It is boring, bro. It's not interesting enough that he's a good character and he's interesting. You need to be able to be a fucking super saying. Chris, Chris, they get boring.

You're a fucking child. How am I play Digimon? Let's go watch. Let's go read some of our. They get boring. That's what happens. His character may be fine, but his character may be fine. You know what they should do if a character gets boring?

Kingsen, do you know what they should do if a character gets boring? Stop making him. I agree. I agree. I agree. I 100% agree. I, too. In fact, I agree more than you would ever agree.

That's why I don't collect comics after a certain point with Peter Parker. I'm like, I'm going to read the same thing again. Right. I have 25 years and I'm like, all right, cool. That's enough. Nothing's going to change. And, are my, Norman Oswald him are friends. Wow, that's not a good point.

It's dumb. Yeah, I don't know. I just saw that and I was like, this is such a jump the shark moment, man. I couldn't believe when I saw that. I think I'm having a power just like, this is the thing, right? If he would have had an electric sword

out of the clear blue sky, that would have bothered me because I was like, where'd that come from? But he's literally had electric powers the whole time he's been the character. That has been the thing he's had the whole time's been the character. Miles Moran's came into existence.

He has bioelectricity. That is something he's had the whole time he's been here. I know, he has a looking sword. That's right about the anime aspect because let's be real. Let's be real. Trying to tap into that fucking

weeb-ass market with swords and shit. I mean, otherwise, you wouldn't, you wouldn't. They made him Vigito and you wouldn't get him. I wouldn't have given him a sword.

I wouldn't have gotten his Ludge powers. Literally. Powers already as they are. So cool. I'm thinking about it as I am when I was in elementary school. I would 100% sent, I would, my toys would swap

weapons, I would give literally my Spider-Man toy that I still have right now, he would be wielding spawns like, I have medieval spawn, and he'd be wielding his jacket and sword and his fucking in his shield because why wouldn't you do that as a kid? That's cool. Yeah, so as a kid, that makes total sense.

But you know what it would be awesome, even cooler than that actually? It's just like, if that made sense. So, for what I mean, it's like, if you have a Spider-Man with a sword, where does that fit in? Where does a Spider-Man with a sword fit in it's like oh maybe like somewhere in like medieval fucking times like that'd be fucking sick we already have a 2099 Spider-Man why not have like a fucking 1610 dude spider-man turning Spider-Man into spawn would be that's kind of amazing my issue is that it just sort of comes out of nowhere it's like here's this fucking

here's this fucking urban youth in the Bronx swinging around with a fucking electric sword it's so fucking out rig is my sword but he didn't he didn't use it for no really he used it because someone used the sword on him. Okay. He manifested a sword as well. So he's Taskmaster? He's not, he's not fighting a criminal-wood gun. So he's Taskmaster then. And he's not like, use this.

Well, Taskmasters always had a sword because he's copied what you're called the Black Sorboneman. Right. You're not hearing what I'm saying. Dude. He's Ben Tenning. They're Ben-Tenning Spider-Man with Biles Morales. I don't think that. This is awesome. I just, I just think it's like whatever, man. If, if, if

if Captain America Because energy constructs are things that people make, dude He's a super soldier He's a super soldier, right? Kevin America is kind of fucking boring All right, so like how do we make him more interesting? It's like, okay, give him

Let him Give him telekinesis. Why would he have telekinesis? Why would he? Why would he have that? Why would he have that? Now Chris, now Chris. Oh my God.

All right, Kingston. Let me explain to you why. Let me comic book you into a reason why. The super soldier serum was dormant in his body. for a long time and during a fight with some fucking telekinetic weirdo

it got it fucking juiced up his brain has already souped up brain and now he can levitate shit let me speak let me speak

me speak let me speak let me speak let me speak Miles Morales Miles Morales has had electric powers the whole time he's existed

right all right and Captain America has had a stronger than normal biology than for the longest time ever that's very

how do you know his brain isn't how do you know he didn't realize like oh wait my brain is

super strong and I didn't even think about this aspect of combat until today whoa interesting that's not

That's not a good reason. So what happens is that Miles... It's a bad reason, Kaysson. That's a whole fucking point. It's a bad reason. Let me continue. Peter had... Captain America is how old.

He's a... Going on 90-year-old character now, right? Right. Give him teleconicist. He's boring. He's been around for 90 years. Right? About a 90-year-old character, right?

He has never once... Give him eight legs. Ever once. That'd be more sense, I guess, than him having Tugnesis. But he's never once showed anything where he's like... He's been in several fights with people that are Sion. never use those kind of powers Miles is fighting someone

right miles has the ability to expel the city from his body he can amp up his punch electricity and he's only been already been shown to be able to create threads with electricity he's been able to make it physical for years already so fucking insane so insane that's already so insane

as creating a sword is not as far-fetched as Captain America is probably two legs out of his asshole and then running up walls with him it's only not far-fetched because it's It's born of already previously existing far-fetched things. What is far-fetched about his powers? All right, never mind.

The thing is that Peter should have the same power as Miles to do that electrical shit. That is the same power. I just want to say this real quick. I think the only reason why there's an issue at all is because of what he conjured. Now imagine if he conjured some Tims, a New York fitted, and a gun. he's also basically Greed Lantern now if he can just make things

out of electricity Yeah, that's pretty cool That's insane That's kind of Like at what point I don't know man That's not new in the Marvel universe Already though

All right You're in Bride's and Nigger Can do shit like that Carole Denver can do shit like that Black is niggas You're willfully Your knickers Can't escape my sight

These are the reasons Why I don't like these characters These are because they're I mean You're not capable Sitting down and reading From one of 15 seconds No because

That's why you don't like these characters. Their infinite backpack of abilities makes them boring. It's why I don't like Superman either. He's so strong that I just don't, I don't feel interested in him. I like Spider-Man because he's weak. Green Lantern, Green Lantern is an extremely powerful character, and he is more interesting than Spider-Man is.

I mean, God bless you. I'm glad to feel that way. Those characters. Derek, you've read about this, right? That whole entire story is insane. I think, I'm glad to have that world. Look, I think the Green Lantern. lantern lore is so interesting because of the whole core.

Like, without it, if it was just him and if the core and Oa didn't exist, then it would be really gay. But because like the Syner's, the other lanterns, the other... The Cynestro Wars was cool as shit. Fire, bro. Like, Senestro is... In that period of time, how Jordan was so strong, it was insane. Yeah, so, like, that whole... Blackest night's probably one of the cool, especially it came out the perfect time when everybody was jacking off

with zombies and shit. So like Blackest Night was probably perfect. That was like 010, right? I think it might have. 09, 09. Oh, it is weird to say O-10, isn't it? That's weird. That's weird.

That's weird. That's 2010, I guess. Yeah, yeah, it sounds better. That sounds way better. There were zombie superheroes running around, bro. It's crazy. I got fucking zombie hot girl, because I still, I'd still bang her even as a zombie.

I would still bang hot girl even as zombie. I'd have to, I'd have to check first. I'd have to check first. what's going on down there. As long as there's no maggots, I'm good. As long as there's no maggots, I'm good.

All right. Fair enough. That's actually fair because I hate maggots. I would really... You want somebody to edit that. I hate... I knew you were going to fucking say that.

I knew you're going to say that. I hope he doesn't catch that. For real? For real, bro. You call them that? That's crazy, dude. It's so much passion, too. people think people be like oh he's projecting

they'll know they'll be i see i knew those gay covers he's just he's just fucking projecting which he's like m&m in that movie with freaking oh that's the interview dude that's such a good scene where he's that scene is actually amazing well it's the only good scene in the movie you're kind of right you kind of right i was like that movie when i saw it hello hello i'm malcolm gladwell host of the podcast smart talks with iBM I recently sat down with IBM's chairman and CEO, Arvin Krishna.

Need to hire? This is a job for Indeed's sponsored jobs. I didn't see it. I actually don't remember any of it other than that line that everybody was using. Like they hate us. They hate us. They hate us because they ain us. Yeah.

That's the only thing I remember for that. movie and then the Eminem part was fucking great. That's a good part. It's so funny because he's so calm while it's happening. It's so matter of fact. How are you guys not, how did you guys not see this?

Did you guys not notice? Do you see that guy, by the way? Speaking of Eminem's, you see that guy I think he testified about killing Tupac with P. Diddy's money. Like official. Like actually.

I heard a guy got arrested. did, but I didn't know that there was any testimony. He did he's in a lot of shit right now too, actually. He's a lot of trouble. They had that law that like, it was like stipulate. It was, what's it called? They were giving exceptions to the statute of limitations when it came to like sexual assault.

And so we were able to file within a year period. And so people started filing P. Diddy, he settled immediately with one. So you know he did it. Like he did. He know that was guilty. He just settled. It's, it's fucking.

A lot of shit. A lot of him. A lot. 22 hours ago, he was dropped from revolt. So, uh, it's, uh,

it's over for fucking big thing. I mean, yeah, there was, I've seen so many conspiracy theory videos about the deaths of Tupac and Biggie. And one thing that, that I did see that was really weird was before,

um, before Tupac died, there was an interview and, and I could be getting this wrong. It was so long ago, but he was looking, so guilty and nervous in a weird way we're like, what the hell's wrong with this

guy? And so people were saying automatically like, oh, he knew what was going to happen. And I mean, I don't know, man. So I listen to hip-hop. I grew up around a bunch of uncles that were like, that was their whole entire persona was hip-hop and like drawing and like all the five pillars hip-hip-hop bullshit.

There's a rapper named Lil Seas that said outward a long time ago that did he had something to do a pox killing. Because when, when Nondi has done to do a biggie's killing Because Lil' Seas was in the car with them When Biggie got shot It was Biggie Yeah, he was Biggie.

He was Junior Mafia, yeah Yeah, it was Biggie C's and What you call? And, uh, I'm not Pacum, Diddy were all there. And the guy came in and somehow only shot Biggie.

Gan it, Big is a big target. Oh, yeah. He probably shielded. He'd be the easiest person. He'd be the easiest person. He came and only shot him. And years, like, Like, I'm not kidding.

Like, 2000, like, 99. He was like, Pock had something to do with it. And everyone ignored him. And I'm like, how does Pock not have something to do with him getting killed? Dude, it's obviously like Shug Night and Pock together did some fuck shit and they killed them both. It's so obvious. It's probably one of the most, it's one of the most, yeah, go ahead. You got to be really balzy to be fat and engaging in that.

shit. You know what I mean? Because like they're not missing, dude. Like, they're not missing. I mean, you know what I mean. Biggie. Biggie was not a bad dude at all, man. He was a drug dealer, obviously. But he wasn't making enemies. What happened was there was a bunch of beef going on to East Coast and West Coast. And Biggie and Pot got drawn into it simply because of the fact they were big rappers at the time. The real big hatred was Snoop Dog and Prodigy.

That was the real big problem. And those. two are both like, I'll shoot you kind of people. You mean the UK ban, right, Prudgeon? No, I mean, probably see that, by the way, from my beep, you asshole. Don't say that. Don't disrespect them like that, bro. Wait, wait, wait.

Is this Prudgy dead? Is it like Sybiltsil or some shit? Yeah, he died. He died from being black. He died of single cell? He died from being black. Holy fuck, that's insane. Technically.

He was too black. He died. God damn. You guys see that that fucking a snoop dog quitting smoke was just a fucking ad for a stove or something? Of course it was. The idea that people thought that out of nowhere, he's like, oh yeah, now I'm going to stop. He's like almost 60 or something. He's like, yeah, now's a good time to fucking stop.

It's crazy. It's crazy. All of them are like 60 now. It makes my heart feel weird. It is weird. Thinking like all of them. Like he's like nearly 60. So is Nas.

So is Bust the rhymes. Nause looks good. I'm worried about Bust. I think his heart's going to explode. Well, he's in very, he's, the thing about Bust,

he says he's got a lot of weight on him. He's got way, he's taking way too many steroids, man. I think he's in very insane shape, but he's just a lot of weight on it. Steroids. He's like,

when you take that amount of steroids, it enlarges your heart. It fucks up your heart. Like he's going to have a heart attack and die, I think. He's way too big. Like, like muscles.

big. And the more you get old, it's like the rock. The rock's probably not going to survive unless he actually gets off of what the fuck he's taking by the time he's like 60 something. He's way too big. Even the rock, the rock is old now too. It's crazy. Yeah, he's like fucking what, mid-50s? I have no idea, actually. He's probably early still. He's probably early 50s. I think, I actually think he, he's been doing the rock. I'm going the rock. I'm going to flying the rock for fucking forever. He doesn't do podcasts. He just started doing them within the last year.

Oh yeah, he did Joe Rogan. Bissar. Yeah, he did Joe Rogan, which, by the way, was so fucking lame and underwhelming. It's the first Joe Rogan podcast I've listened to in a very long time. And the reason why it was so annoying and so lame is

everybody knows that Joe calls out the Rock anytime he gets about his obviously lying about steroids. Like, obvious. It's so obvious that he's fake natural. People that come on the podcast, there's a guy named Derek More Plates, more dates, who breaks down all this stuff. They've talked about it. Fucking Rock shows up and nothing. No, it was, there was this entire, there was this elephant in the room the entire time and you felt it. And I was like, this is fucking gay. I was hoping that one of you all were going to at least.

Yeah, go ahead. He was, he also was just like so clearly on a leash. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like it was the most It felt like It felt like when like world leaders would go on podcasts Or like would go on TV shows To talk about like real things But like you know for sure they're not fucking doing that Like they're not gonna get like

What's his name? Netanyahu on the view You know what I mean And then bring up Palestine You know what I mean? Like they're not gonna do that That would be crazy They even brought up Israel Palestine

On the fucking rock episode And he was just like The whole thing was like Yeah it's so it's it's all so sad and it makes me sad. And it's just so fucking substance. What drives me nuts about that specifically is they kept saying, I don't know what can be done. I don't know.

It just, I can believe the rock can actually believe that. Like, he doesn't know what can be done. But I feel like Rogan's around enough people that Joe says some things every once in a while that I'm like, I know he knows what's right. And he's pretending to be like, I don't know what could be done. I'm like, I think it's pretty simple what could be fucking done, dude. I think it's pretty simple. But, you know, I wouldn't need to get in.

Hello, hello. I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of Smart Talks with IBM. I recently spoke with IBM's new director of research, Jake Mbata. We discussed his vision for the future of quantum computing. At IBM research, what we always do is answer what is the future of computing. Whether it's coming up with new algorithms, coming out. up with better AI, coming up with quantum, or coming up with just how do different accelerators go together. It's our DNA to answer the question of what is the future.

Isn't it a perfect problem for IBM because you kind of need to have a legacy of building stuff? Yes. Building actual physical machines. Yeah, it's why I came to IBM. I wanted the experience, the culture of building hard things that others have not done before. Where do you imagine we are in the timeline of this technology? There will come a point when it will mature. Right?

Yeah. My cell phone is a mature technology at this point. How far are we from that point with Quantum? By 2029, we'll build the first fault-tolerant quantum computer. That is one that can run a very, very large, large problem. To learn how IBM is building the future of computing, visit IBM.com slash quantum. All right, quick quiz for the hiring managers out there.

Yeah, it's a bad episode, man. I heard some of it. You know what got released recently? No. Chris Brown finally openly talked about her Rihanna situation with him. Oh, yeah? Like, Joe Rogan? Did he feel like satisfactory, like reminiscing?

Yeah, Joe Rogan? Yeah, it's actually kind of sad. Because it's a young man doing dumb shit and then like the rest of his life is ruined. From that, even though, like, granted, you know, I've been, I've been young. I've been young. And, you know, you've never been young. I've done some shit. But I've never, I've never done that, you know.

And he admits he's like, I let my anger get a hold of me and I did something stupid. I don't. I don't blame that on age. I don't. I blame that on somebody being stupid, young and dumb. I don't blame it on someone being young. Just dumb, not young. Because we're all young.

None of us have, none of us have beat a pop sensation within into their lives. So yeah he didn't he didn't beat her He didn't be her really badly Like a few times in her face And he put her up Okay And puffed her up

He fucking bit her Do you know how much of the savage You got her arm Yeah he bit her fucking arm That's crazy That is the most savage You see like The one part that I really like

From the walking I don't Hold on I just want Once I once I was I saw it I saw it I'm gonna say this I absolutely do not agree What he did right

You never You never put your hands on people Ever ever ever I never agree but their situation The way he explains it of course Granted he's explaining it Because you know

She'll probably give you a complete different story But he's explaining it It just seems like he just literally Lost control of himself after being pushed by her So much that he attacked her And it's just like look I understand being upset She threw her Lambo keys out the car

She pitched you a bunch of times She grabbed her groin She slapped the shit out of you She was attacking you cung you up just get out the car and leave just get out the car and leave Chris do not hit her

do not hit her he slipped and he hit her and the whole time he was he did that he was just like reflecting on like I can't believe in the moment you're mad you're gonna be mad about shit you know it's a crazy hit Kingston like I don't know like I understand I agree I agree I'm not condoning

I want to say something like if you're a guy right and some it's a girl is especially if it's different interpersonally I've I love those videos, by the way, of like women on the street, like slapping a guy and the guy just goes like, okay, okay, we're adults. Are you ready?

And then they just get thrown the fucking, I love that because that's instant karma. You shouldn't put your hands on someone unless you're ready to get your fucking shit rocked. Like generally. But interpersonally, there's a level where it's like, dude, like if you're getting hit by like your partner or something, I get a retaliation of some kind,

but understand like when to walk away as well like that hit is crazy that Rihanna got you know what I mean that's a crazy hit punching and biting too it's like it's just I don't know man

I don't know how you can really explain that away is like oh I was young no it's so there's a thing there's a thing called like in wrestling and pro wrestling it's called a receipt like when you actually hurt somebody you do something

then you give them receipt you do it back You do something back to them. There's a guy, Braun Stroma, that accidentally need Brock Lesner in the face. It was an accident.

Brock Learser gave him a receipt by punching him right in the face. And it's one of those things where it's like you're angry but you're in control. It's like, I need to get you back. That is not getting back.

That is just a type of rage that is, I can't explain it. I can't explain it away with, with youthfulness because I never got that fucking angry. I just, that's his, that's his personality. That is just,

he probably, still has that in him to be able to not only punch but to bite somebody that is so over the top like what i was trying to say remember when they're trying to pray and what he says when they were trying to paint rick grimes as like a savage like they made him bite that dude's throat because he was going to like kill carl or kill everybody like there there is that level of savagery is connected with biting and it's it'll always be that way so it's like to me i can't i just can't Find any type of anything that sounds reasonable to fucking start gnawing at somebody. It just sounds so crazy.

It's so crazy. The way he paints the story, the way he paints the story is that he's very much so like he's trying to drive. They're going back and forth. Obviously, he got to text from somebody on his phone. She got jealous about it. She started tripping. She started tripping on him, right? She started screaming at him, screaming at him, started hitting him, attacking him while he's driving.

And he's like, yo, I'm driving right now. Like, chill, I'm driving a car. I'm driving a sports car. We can die. And he gets mad and he puts his hands on her, right? That's problem number one. Don't, don't pull over. Like my grandma, my grandma and my grandpa, right?

My granddad is one thing he was like, whenever you're going to say, I'm with a woman, instead of going and yelling at her or putting your hands on her, he just just leave. Just walk out the house. Go hang out with your boys. Get a breather. Get a beer and calm yourself down.

That is one of the lessons. my grandpa told me, I refuse to do that. I always beat up Lily before I leave. Then I go get my beer. Then I go get my beer and my friends. All right. The beer tastes better after you win a fight.

You just feel good. You just feel good. Like you worked for it. You work for it. You've got a thinn your blood out. A little bloody today. What happened, man? Lady got it. Lady, I gave her one. So look at this is, this is, so in this scenario, let's say, let's say

Chris Brown did this. He actually gets out the car and walks away. He's like, I'm getting the, I'm getting out of the situation. Rihanna chases after him. At that point, I can't excuse the biting, but I can excuse what kind of happens afterwards. If she were to start chasing after him, I always say, this is just me,

because it's not about gender, it's about a power dynamic. Because I wouldn't, I don't want to stomp out like a small dude either. someone that's so easily like do you remember that bagel guy the bagel boss guy that went viral that was funny but I was almost sad oh yeah yeah he's dead you know you want to let

that's not a lie that's actually real he died a while ago no he did it I swear to God what are you what are you talking about wait what are you talking about the little bagel guy

he went nuts at a bagel shop he was dead that guy yeah he's dead that little fella yeah what are you talking about about. Look at up right now, actually. I swear to God, what's his name? Bagel guy. I think they call them

Bagel boss. I think they call him bagel boss. What his name? Bagel guy? No. Bagel guy. What the fuck is this guy's name? Angry bagel. Oh, yeah, he's from Long Island, obviously. He's not fucking dead. Nobody's saying he's dead. He's dead, bro.

Hold on. Now look. Let me look. You're just lying. I'm not kidding. Okay. So the first thing pops up damn looks like bagel boss died again looks like he died again Chris Morgan the bagel boss guy is dead the death of

Chris Morgan the bagel boss guy is reportedly he dressed up as the joker at an open mic and it says Tom like this is probably you no I don't think any of it's real I don't think he's dead he had a massive stroke no he did actually die he he had a stroke Hello hello I'm Malcolm Gladwell host of Smart Talks with IBM.

Morgan filmed an episode of Dr. Oz three weeks before the stroke. which he explained the impact his anger issues had on his health. He had a stroke, but he's still alive. I don't understand.

I'm not seeing him. Let's see. I'm going to look at this video. Oh, yeah. Maybe he didn't, maybe he didn't die. Am I crazy? Maybe he just had a stroke because he's just completely incapacitated? He's basically dead, though.

He's basically dead. He's basically dead. There's an ex-UFC fighter from Long Island. Yeah. There's an ex-UFC fighter. from Long Island that I just literally I can't believe I just stumbled upon him right now because he quit and started doing real estate. His name's Ally Quinta and he has a video called Rip Bagelbras. I'm just like what a fucking small world.

Like what are you doing, dude? So some people are saying, hope he finds peace now. He's finally at peace. Rip the King. I just don't see any like real death. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I see your saying. He has a YouTube channel. Where's his YouTube channel?

Yeah, I don't know. I think it still exists. Because I remember seeing this news and he had a stroke and I remember hearing that he died, but that could be just like an assumption. Either way, he's fucked because it's not a good stroke. The downfall of the bagel boss guy. Anyway, the point is... I like how there's a video that says the downfall,

like as if he's ever had a fucking rise. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He rose to stardom. And then, like, he had, like, eight hit albums, and then he was caught in the grocery store, like, losing his mind. And then, like, everything fell apart from there. Just going berserk. Just going berserk in a grocery store. That's so funny.

We're like, please calm down. Yeah, that's weird. I remember him. It's weird that there's no concrete answer to this. Yeah, this is actually kind of annoying. I really do remember seeing, like, a whole thing about him dying. And I remember because I thought, like, that's so fucking. I didn't think.

that's so funny but I did laugh Bigel Yeah I don't See that he's like Yeah let's look at the news that is I'm gonna see that there's like Recent news Because I mean he loved he had a whole last YouTube channel So I feel like there should be

Some stuff I felt bad for him because he just he just I feel like he just went through His life just being small and pushed around for being small You know Well yeah the weird thing is Still, it's still fucking crazy. The, the, the problem is, because I've known some pretty short fucking people in my life, like shorter than me, like a lot shorter.

And, like, just kind of owning it and being fun, people kind of, like, backed off. And I guess he grew up in, I mean, I don't know what Long Island's like. The people would seem pretty unsufferable to me, so. Yeah. Either it's insane. Either it's insane. or it's really rich assholes Yeah

It's not a good place But uh Yeah anyway That would have an interesting fight Bigel boss guy versus Rihanna Fucking loser Beagle boss versus Rihanna That'll be

That'll be a fight I'd watch that I'd watch it too I think Rihanna would beat his eyes I think Rihanna would fucking crush him Absolutely Good that's a thing too That's a thing too to take into account right

where it's like Chris Brown's like 6-1, she's like 5-7. I don't know, man. Yeah. Just comes across as like, look, if I'm dating somebody who's 6-1 and they start beating me up, I'm swinging, okay? Like, make no mistake.

All right. You know, that's a black widow situation for me. But, I don't know. It just seems, it seems weird to be that Chris Brown would go on a podcast to talk about it so late after the fact. Well, I mean, there's definitely, he definitely have to deal with shit.

Like, you know, like that, that ruined his life. For a while. I mean, he ruined his life. He was, he was, he was, he was a number one artist on the planet at that time, bro. He was, he was, he was like, he was like meteoric at that time. That, yeah, but he would also be right back on top if he was releasing some fucking bangers. He's just not. I mean, he released when he got out.

I'm not going, I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. That album he reached when he got out was, it's a good album, man. You, you love the worst. It was a good album, bro. OJ Simpson, Chris Brown, all these, just psychopaths. That was a good album.

I don't know. I don't like Chris Brown at all. That was a good album. And I was just like, dang, this is a pretty good album. But you still beat the flaming fuck out of all. I was always team. I was team, Neil.

I was team Neil. You're like Lily. Lilies just better. He's just not better looking. He's just a better songwriter. He's just like. He's a good producer. He's a fantastic producer.

That is 100% true. He's an amazing, he's bald and shit, but I only make fun of him because he tries to hide it. Otherwise, I don't, because I don't care if people are bald.

It's like Tim Pool, right? I wouldn't give a shit if he just owned it. I care a lot. People that hide it at all fucking like, you know, they try, they have to hide it.

Like, fuck those people. That's how Neil was. You could never catch that nigger without a hat on. until he had that mug shot. And I'm like, you bald bitch. So confusing.

Like, you're already, if you're at that level, if you're at that level, why not just, like, if you're at that level and you're hiding it, why not just, like, get it fixed? Like, you could just get it fixed. Oh, yeah. Like, they have tens of millions of dollars. They can easily, like, Neil, with his production, with the producing, he made a shitload of money just, just being a producer. He could have easily just, uh, what are they called plugs?

I've seen so many people do hair plugs. And sometimes I don't understand, like, say, LeBron James is one of the richest people in America. And his hair line is barely fine. Because, you know, he would have been bald as shit. But it's still, I'm like, I don't understand. He has all the money in the fucking world. Well, he just doesn't care, really.

Well, he doesn't care. I think he does, though. He used to wear a bandana and move it past. His hair was still receding, he would move it back more and more. It was to the point where people were making memes like, that shit's going to be on the top of his fucking head and like a chin strap

I think the whole hairline thing is this weird because LeBron LeBron tried he tried to fix his airline But like how did Actually with the amount of money he has How did he not fix it? That's not like it's just I said like those things aren't 100% of shirt

I've seen amazing hairplice man We've all seen Tom Brady We've seen Tom Brady Dude Joel Joel Michael is that his name Joe McHale Yeah Joe McHale Perfect example That motherfucker was bald ding

And then community, I'm like, oh, he looks fucking great. It's really jar. Joe McHill again? Joe McHill is Jeff Winger from community. Oh, Jeff, he was, oh really? He was baldy? Yeah. Dude, if you watch Spider-Man 2.

Literally. Watch Spider-Man 2. He's the banker in Spider-Man 2, and he's bald as hell in that. Like, he is bald in that movie. Like straight up. It's just weird. Like, I see it work. It's almost like it depends on how you're hair.

takes it because Joe Rogan tried the same thing and it didn't work I guess. He tried to do hair a long time ago It's because his fucking bloodstream is full of bull semen or whatever the fuck He's taking all those weird supplements screwing up his fucking biochemistry

Yeah But dude his head's gotten like three times as big So I was swall I love him and Bill Burr I love him and Bill Burr going on there And Joe Rogan trying to like Bill Burr is great man He saw you like you wear the mask

He was like Joe shut the fuck up He was like, shut the fuck up, Joe. Like, we're both not educated in this. Like, just shut the fuck. I was so, what of my favorite? Just completely dismissed him, dude. Dude, when he says, he says, my favorite moment because he's like, oh, man, like, Joe's saying, like, oh, you guys are such pussies that wear a mask or whatever.

And then he's like, oh, you're such a tough guy with your open nose and throat. And it's like the funny, like, it was the funny. Because the idea of just not wearing one makes you something like, oh, you're not a pussy now. Like, oh, you're open nose and throat. You're so tough. And I was like, that was great. It just... It wouldn't work on you, Joe.

Your knuckles, your knuckles already dragged across the floor. It wouldn't work on you, Joe. That's such a great clip. He just roses the shit out of him. It is a great clip, yeah. Speaking of insecure celebrities. Rest in peace. Bill Burr.

Rest in Pete. Wait, what? Where do he go? Where do you go? He made a black woman. He's done. Him and Dr. 2 got into a car accident. I do want to ask, before we, before we move on to

questions because we miss a lot. There's a lot of stuff that actually happened that I think is kind of interesting. Do you guys know of a comedian by the name of Matt Rife? Yeah, I just learned about him, like a week ago, actually. Yeah, I'm not learned from Waddonal to a while ago. I've known about him for a while because he would, his TikTok, his videos would come across my TikTok algorithm because I was watching a lot of stand-up. I hadn't seen any of them. Oh, you were watching stand-up on TikTok. I watch a lot of stand-up. Like, my algorithm on TikTok just feeds me a lot of stand-up clips, which is great. Great, because I love that.

Gotcha. But Matt Rife shows up, and every time it's just like crowdwork, and it's like really kind of boring. Like, he's kind of got this reputation of being like, oh, you're successful because you're attractive. And like women have kind of propelled you into the forefront of the side guys. Your girlfriend's favorite comedian. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Because he's like, oh, look how pretty he is. And so he came up with his Netflix special and it's just not good because it's no crowdwork and it's just material and he's just not good at doing material.

But he's also like, I guess he got some plastic. surgery because he was like super insecure and there was this thing where like his doctor which i'm pretty sure it's like illegal but he heavily this this surgeon makes like a like this ticot video where he's like he's dancing or something or it's like some something where and the caption is when you create the best jaw line you've ever created and the patient immediately gets canceled and it's clearly like all the comments are like it's it's very clearly matt rife and Reif even commented, like, something like, uh, it's illegal to, it's illegal to, uh, Oh, is that maybe some type of HIPAA thing?

Yeah, like a HIPA thing or, uh, he didn't use the word HIPAA or like, or like the acronym, but like he said something along the lines of like it's illegal to, patient confidentiality, like, whatever the fuck. Like, this is, uh, this is illegal or whatever. Which is crazy because like, if. The Ruffly canceled? Yeah, because his comment, his, so first of all, He's just not, he, I've always thought he was just not funny.

So, like, this is not me jumping on, like, some bandwagon. Because his special, apparently, like, keep in mind, he was propelled by women into the forefront because women thought he was attractive. He was, like, everybody was in his comments and boosting him. And, like, that's how he got notoriety. He was all these women in his comments being, like. Because I know a bunch of comedians that ride for him, too. Like, a bunch of, I know, like, for me personally.

I, because I, I, I, I know, comedians are, like, weirdly. There's a, comedians are loyal in, in that way. I know, I know Burr ride for him. I know that together kind of thing What you call it does That there's that gross Niggott has to call himself

The machine Whatever his name is That fucking Oh yeah Burt Kreischer Yeah There's him There's the Asian guy

And his friend And bad friends Yeah Yeah And Dr. Santino and Bobby Lee Yeah And I've heard them Right right

Right Right I don't think he's terrible Well Here's the thing It's It's It's a situation

where like He's not Very funny But people were kind of There were people dismissing him because he was attractive, right? Because he's like, oh, and that was kind of, I think that was the angle that they were going for,

more like, it's like, hey, listen, man, this guy's been working in the clubs for a long time. Like, he's not just, he's not coming out of nowhere, and he's not just like having success kind of handed off to him just because he's attractive. He's been working at this for a really, really long time. And that was kind of, that is the, the statement that a lot of comedians have,

or like the, where a lot of comedians are coming from where it's like, no, it's not, it's not cool to pretend like he just came out of nowhere. He's been doing this for like 10 years. So, like, that's fucked up. It's not just because he's attracted. But it absolutely also is because he's attractive. Like, he definitely is as popular as he is because he's conventionally attractive. He'd probably still be relatively famous, but like, it would be a very different situation.

And so you have this audience of women who are like, yeah, dude. And then his Netflix special comes out and it's just very, very, it's very guy-centric. jokes and it's like there's like he jokes about like domestic violence he's like oh well you know you wouldn't have a black eye if you were just in the kitchen and stuff like that and it's like i watched i just watched some of it and it's just kind of like i love edgy comedians right but like it's just so it felt you know what it felt like it felt like a desperate attempt to like no i'm not i'm not like a girls comedian you know what i mean like it felt like a really desperate attempt to be like, no, no, no, no, I'm fucking cool.

I'm a guy, I'm a guy's guy. Look at my crazy jawline. Look at how masculine I am now. Yeah. It really came across that way. He still looks like a tweak, man. He still looks like a tweak. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, he looks good. Like, I'm not going to like complain of it. He's a great shape, but he's a little guy, yeah. I will say this. The biggest problem I have with it, isn't even that the material isn't great or that it's kind of derivative and boring. He laughs after every fucking sentence he says. Like

Yeah And I hate that Hate that I hate that There's very few people Who I think can do that And get away with it Like this is a comedian

That I've been listening to a lot lately Shane Gillis I think Shane Gillis is funny But he does that a little bit too Like he'll laugh after like a lot of the things And he says Is Shane Gillis that guy looks like he has like He has Down syndrome

Yes Yes Yeah To me he just looks like a giant trunk He literally He literally has a bit about that I think I'm sorry

No no shade No hey damn I'm not saying he literally wrote that I'm pretty sure like he wrote that exactly yeah he said he like barely he said he barely dodged it is what he's what he said he's got some good but actually he's like funny like a genuinely funny dude like he got canceled from Comedy Central he got canceled not Comedy Central he got canceled from he got fired from Saturday Night Live before he got hired like the day

I think the day he got it was announced that he was coming on Saturday Night Live he got fired immediately because like some podcast of his, some podcast clip of his from like 10 years ago came out of him saying like a slur or something. But it was, I don't know. Like, it's, but he's a very like,

he's one of the more modern, like, edgy comedians and he's funny. Yeah, he's authentic. Right, right. And so people like coming at Matt Rife and people are like, people, oh, they only hate him because he's like, because he's offensive. And it's like, Matt Rife isn't even remotely offensive, dude.

It was like... Hello, hello, I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of Smart Talks with IBM. I recently spoke with IBM's new director of research, Jake Embatta. We discussed his vision for the future of quantum computing. At IBM research, what we always do is answer what is the future of computing.

Whether it's coming up with new algorithms, coming up with better AI, coming up with quantum, or coming up with just how do different accelerators go together. It's our DNA. need to answer the question of what is the future. Isn't it a perfect problem for IBM because you kind of need to have a legacy of building stuff? Yes.

Building actual physical machines. Yeah, it's why I came to IBM. I wanted the experience, the culture of building hard things that others have not done before. Where do you imagine we are in the timeline of this technology? There will come a point when it will mature. Right? Yeah. My cell phone is a mature technology at this point.

How far are we from that point with quantum? By 2029, we'll build the first fault-tolerant quantum computer. That is one that can run a very, very large, large problem.

You know what I mean? Yeah. A lot of people are trying, like, Jimmy Carr came out with a special. And same thing, he's such a posh Brit guy. And he's same deal, same fucking deal, like, trying to be like, these people, what they're trying to do, it's like what a lot of our favorite YouTubers try to do. They try to get canceled. They try to get canceled. And they're like, oh, oh, why don't get canceled?

And then I remember Matt Rive did something, like some sort of apology or whatever. Or he said if you get offended by this, he sent a link, right? You know what I'm talking about? He said, here's a link to my, here's a link to my apology if you're offended by what I had to say. And it linked to like some site selling special needs helmets, which to me was funnier than the entire special. Yeah, that was actually kind of funny. I was like, that's something that I'd do. But it would probably be way worse than special need helmets.

It would have been like meat spin. And look, I don't know. The fact of twirling dick ever does. The thing about it is that like I get the impulse. I get it. Because when you're making video, like there have been so many people who've come to me over the years

who've been like, who've told me like my videos were like offensive or whatever. And it's frustrating. It's annoying. Especially when you're not like not setting out to do that. You're just trying to make people laugh. And most of the people who are like,

they're digesting it, enjoy it. And so like you just have these like random people kind of coming in from the outside. I get the impulse to kind of double down or not to care. But I do think at the same time it's like, there's a difference between doing an edgy joke and just being like kind of lazy. Like it's very easy.

I think what pulled me out of it or what got me less interested in that stuff was just how easy it was and how easy I noticed it being for so many other people where it's just like, oh, you don't even have to really construct a joke or write anything funny. You just kind of, if you just say something shocking, people will respond to it as if it's like really brilliant.

And that's, I resent that because it's like really boring and bland and lame. It just like lowers the ceiling or like lowers the expectations of everybody else when like that's considered like oh well you offended somebody so so you're funny and it's like no you can be funny and offend people but like it's there's a those are distinctly different things there's actually uh uh i would say one of the reasons why like the cum town podcast so much is uh they weren't saying particularly nick mullen he wasn't saying things to be offensive

he was just saying what popped in his head and happened to be very offensive and like one of the funniest things, like there's a Simpson super cut of Comtown, and they're making fun of the punching bag, Adam Friedland, they're making fun of him saying his dick is small, this, this, all the Simpsons characters are saying his dick is small and all this shit. They're comparing it to like Bart's penis, but then it went to, um, oh, your, your, your, your dick is smaller than Maggie's clit or something. So, like, obviously that's getting into like really. That's great.

And then it got to the point where we're doing a Barney Gumble, doing a Barney impression and like, Adams walking in the room. Hey, is that Maggie's pussy? And it's the implications of Barney Gumpel knowing what Maggie's pussy looks like. It's one of the funniest fucking things I ever heard of. But it's not like they're like, oh, man, what is the most edgiest thing I can think of? It was just the stupidest thing they can think of off the top of their head. And when you think about it, like, this is, I remember seeing a comment on that video I was watching.

And it was like, this is one episode that I could never let my coworkers here. Because they just won't understand what they're listening to. And that's the type of shit that, like, it's fun. It's just, it's a... I've definitely, as someone was like, I was a big fan of comedy before, I actually really am starting to lose a lot of my love for comedians. Bill Bear will always be someone I respect heavily.

Absolutely. Bill Bear, Bill Bear. But in general, it's comedians, I don't know. I, I am, I am, I say horrible shit a lot, right? A lot. I say horrible things a lot. And I make a lot of jokes. but I also aim my jokes towards people that are like, you know, like I'm not going to outwardly try to offend someone of particular groups.

And though a lot of people don't see the problem with that, I think a lot of things can be hurtful to other people. So I try, like, when I watch comedians that I'm like, I'm just saying what I think. And I'm just trying to voice how I feel. And it's a bunch of nigger comedians that say that now too, which makes me feel even more terrible. And I'm just like, I just, I've just disconnect. with them where I'm like dude

time and place I'm just that's where my brain is really getting to like it's a time place you know I understand

you have some beliefs that are offensive I think a lot of it is just so ill a lot of it's just like not well constructed

you know what I mean like I don't know like there's a like I think actually like Dave Chappelle is kind of guilty of this too

but like at the same time he's also like the best like one of the better examples of it too because he's like he's done really really great shit with like a really really offensive shit and he's also kind of phoned it in a couple times i think um and i say that's somebody who like really likes dave schpell he's like probably top five comedians to me but like i like i like i can

watch dave's supposed and i can think it's funny but i also think it's extremely offensive at the same time well like i'm watching it and i'm hearing what he's saying and i laughed when i watched it and i'm like you are being extremely disrespectful dave well is it is it unbelievably so. The question is, is it funnier than it is offensive? Or is it, like, is it offensive? I don't think that validates much. I think that totally validates because that's all your, that's all comedy is supposed to be.

It's supposed to be funnier than it is offensive, like a million percent. It can be offensive to get to the point of being funny, but like it still needs to, it still needs to be so funny that it doesn't matter that it's offensive because everybody kind of gets it. Everybody's on the joke. I think sticks and stones was like, which was one of, I think, I think the. The second one. I think two specials ago from Chappelle, that shit was hysterical.

That was like one of the best. That's one of my favorite ones of his personally. When he's talking about like the Michael Jackson, the Michael Jackson kid. I think that's funny. You remember what it's like going to school after that shit? It's like, how was your weekend? How was my weekend?

Oh, yeah. Michael Jackson sucked my dick. Like, that, it is, it is blatantly offensive. That Asian joke killed me, bro. when he was like, this is how I feel. Inside, I can't kill me. I laugh for a bunch. It is, and it is, no, but hold on.

And it is offensive, but it is funny. It's just objectively funny. And then, like, the two that he came out afterwards were just kind of like, they didn't offend me. I don't get offended by anything, but, like, they weren't as, they weren't as tightly constructed as, like, Six and Stones were. Or they didn't have, like, the punches that Sixth and Stones had where it's like, oh, like, you're supposed to wade into, the way I feel.

feel about is you're almost like wading into trash and like kind of like getting yourself really, really filthy in the hopes that you pull out something really, really amazing out of the garbage, right? And pulling something out of the garbage that's worth it justifies how dirty you get. That's kind of how I think about like offensive jokes in general. It's like you can wait in that stuff and you can get really filthy. You could get really, really like enveloped in that shit. But as long as you pull something out at the end that justifies why you even dove in there in the first place, I think it's okay. And the problem is that a lot of people aren't willing to eat.

A lot of people are just waiting around on the surface and getting dirty and pretending like, hey, look at me, I'm doing, I'm doing work. But you're just kind of just saying shit. You know what I mean? Yeah. I don't know if that makes sense. But like, that's how I think about it. It does.

It does make sense. Like, there is, first and foremost, I, when it comes to a comedy setting, I think it's always the right place. I think that is, I think, I really think a lot of people, just need to, not enough people practice the, like, if you don't like it, don't listen or whatever. Oh, 100%. That is true to, yeah. You can, I agree. Because that's kind of just nuts to me. I wish people really would do that. It's like I always say sometimes, if someone's criticizing my show, I'm like, why, why are you still here? I don't understand. If you don't like this, don't waste your

energy. Like, go listen to stuff that you enjoy. I truly believe you should do that. So that's how, and I silently, like say, Joe Rogan was a big example where, when he started, when he went insane and moved to Texas and everything, I'm just like, well, this ain't for me anymore. Hell of a run. You know, and it's not like, I need to come on and go at Joe

or do, you know, try to be like, you fucking like, fuck, I don't care. It's just not for me anymore. You can do whatever wacky shit you want to do now. And that's all I want, you know, our show to be ran. Because every once in a while there would be some, a message or something about like, hey,

hey, how about this? Or like a, I said, about something that was maybe a little borderline offensive or maybe like trigger warning or something like that. And it's like, you know, I understand where these people are coming from, but it's like, this is the wrong show. It's just the wrong show that this is not, it's not. If, you know, if you run into that too many times, it's like, well, I don't know what to tell you. It's like you're not going to have a good time because this is just off the cuff, right? This is just what we're doing. I agree.

Yeah. For me, it's weird because I'm simultaneously a. leading heart and also someone that is willing to say horrible shit. And I laugh at bad, fucked shit. So I just in a very middle ground where I'm like, oh, man. Have you, why do you laugh? I laugh because I cannot believe it.

I don't laugh because I think it's funny. Right. Right. Exactly. No, no, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. I don't think it's funny.

I'm shocked. I'm in disbelief. It's funny because of how crazy it is. I'm not funny because I'll create it's funny. it is. Like when it's funny, yes, exactly. It's funny because it's outrageousness. Like someone, like right now, right, me and Chris are making this joke that Derek just heard us. We just said Vigro. That is so stupid. But the idea of the idea of someone changing that little bit of Vigita's name into that, and it's just a black character now with a monkey's tail and nappy hair trying to fight go on earth.

That shit is just like, who the fuck would make that? That's funny to me. It's not funny because, because of the racial undertone, it's funny because of the fact that so little was changed about it. But it's still funny. That's what I'm saying is like the absurdity of it is what makes it funny. Like the absurdity that someone would aid even, the idea that the idea, okay, the idea that someone would even say that in the first place and that would even cross somebody's mind. And then the image that it conjures is funny. Like it's just objective. It's just funny.

But so there's a, you know. Oh, go ahead. So like people getting hurt isn't funny, right? But like someone getting hurt and like a guy, people getting hurt isn't funny. But I just sent a video in the chat. I don't know if you watched it. It's in the chat right now. I didn't see it.

If you click on it right now, what's funny is the situation and the story that leads to where that is. Yeah, but this is another example. This is another example of Kingston being a sociopath because it's just a video of a guy falling to his death and he's laughing at it. He's not like, someone falling out the sky. It's one falling out the sky. And I'm like, what happened here? That's crazy. he has a briefcase too?

Like what was he doing? Was he on a work trip? And he didn't want to go to the next trip? Like that's what's funny. It's not funny that the guy is probably gone. May he rest of the peace? But what I'm saying is there is there is comedy there. Like there is a there is a funny.

There is a funniest of everything, I think. Guys, I think the testament to everything we're saying is every fucking year when 9-11 rolls around. You see some wild shit that will make you laugh. You see somebody's posting something fucking stupid. Like when I saw, when I saw the gif of Will Smith dancing, the stomping the towers down.

That shit, like, that was it for me. I was like, okay, it's, this is, how could you not laugh at this? It's so fucking absurd. The crazy one for me was my friend Amin made one where Sonic is grinding the rails

away from the world as they're falling because Sonic thinks it's a set piece He thinks he's just doing city escape part three And I'm like what the This is so ridiculous If that event didn't happen There's no way that joke is funny

Right Right Wilson dancing on the tower Sonic doing that There's no way it's funny It did people just be like I don't get it right if nothing happened.

Like we just did on the Empire State Building or some shit. You'd be like, okay, what the fuck was that? So. Yeah. But for me, when it comes to, when it comes to these groups that are being hurt or being offended by these words, that's where my heart was like, I'm in a very weird space.

I'm like, I don't understand these phrases are offensive. I don't feel that way at all, man. I don't feel that way. And I'm not saying you have to. That's not where I'm going for it. I'm not saying anyone has to. I'm not saying anyone needs to feel that way.

Well, kind of like you said time and place. Like there are a certain sense. settings where you're not going to say some really fucked up stuff. But when it comes to our art, when it comes to... But the thing is what's happening, what's happening is that a lot of people are trying to push against that. A lot of people want to push against that. Because of the fact that it's a joke, right?

Like, I ended, like the word retard, right? I've started using it more and I don't like that I use it more. Because of you guys. You guys say it on here and I started using it. I kind of take that... I took the word out of my vocabulary. I just stops. I was like, I would just say fucking stupid.

And I try to say fucking stupid, right? I understand when you guys say it, you have no ill will, those people that have special needs or disabled, right? That's why I'm not changing my vocabulary. That's right, right? That's exactly why I'm going to offend some of them, right? So where I exist, right, it doesn't defend retarded people. It defends

other people that are advocating for people who have more often than not, yes, right? More often than not, you're very right. Well, first of all, I'm sure some retarded people are offended by it. Like, what level retardation are we talking about? Now we're getting into

the meat of potatoes of the discussion. You see even that, right? Like, I wouldn't, like, the way you guys referenced it, I understand you guys have no ill-will towards it, but I would have never said it like that, ever. I would just, I would not say that. Other people, some people say people have problems with it, or people with people with different needs have problems with it, right?

There's nothing wrong with it, but saying it, but what happens is that every now and then I go through, I, unfortunately, me being a dumb-ass, bleeding hard, I'm scones, whatever I'm scrolling through, and then some person's venting about how that word has completely alienated them. And I'm like, ah, man. I'm a bad person. Here's the thing.

Here's the thing. And maybe this isn't super smart, right? But I think about life and the world generally a lot from the perspective of, and this is just because of like the influence of this guy. Hello, hello. I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Smart Talks with IBM. I recently sat down with IBM's chairman and CEO, Arvin Krishna. And I asked him, how? How can companies use AI to its fullest potential to create smarter business?

My one advice to them, pick areas you can scale. Don't pick the shiny little toys on the side. For example. If anybody has more than 10% of what they had for customer service 10 years ago, they're already five years behind it. If anybody is not using AI to make their developers who write software 30% more productive today, with the goal of being 70% more productive. Yeah.

So we are not asking our clients to be the first experiment on it. We say, you can leverage what we did. We're happy to bring out all our learnings, including what needs to change in the process, because the biggest change is not technology, is getting people to accept that there's a different way to do things.

This is a job for Indeed's sponsored jobs. I had on me. But I think about George Carlin a lot because I feel like he was like very, very smart and just like very, very wise with a lot of stuff he said and a lot of stuff that you would talk to. And even like some of these documentaries of just him like later in life and just kind of like reflecting on stuff. and I do think it's frustrating how right wing it has

like it's been like kind of contorted into this right wing perspective the idea of just being direct, blunt, and honest with your language has become, because I feel like when we say stuff like, oh, people with different needs, it's like,

it's just this like soft language that's kind of getting in the way of just what we're trying to say. You know what I mean? I just I'm not like advocating for people to oh yeah, you should be able to run and run into a supermarket and just shout the N-word at random people with no fucking consequence. It's insane. But at the same time, it's like, you know, what what is it about the word retarded that is worse than any of its substitutes? And at a certain point, won't their substitutes just become as bad as retarded and then we'll have to find something else? It just seems like this really endless loop of keeping people. people unable to communicate with each other. And that's really what I don't like. I want to be able to be direct with people and be blunt with people. I'm not trying to be offensive, right?

I'm not trying to be like, oh, man, I'm saying, oh, man, I'm saying, telling it how it is. It's just a matter of just like, dude. You're not wrong. How many syllables we have to add to a word to make it okay? Like, it's weird. The scenario of that, too, though. Like, see, that's why I say, for example, if there was somebody who I was, that I perceived as being like mentally disabled,

handicapped, whatever you want to say. Of course, I wouldn't use that type of language around them. That's kind of common sense. But in a setting where I'm with my boys, I'm on my fucking podcast or something, something like that. It's like,

no, that's when I can do my thing and you're entering this space. If you don't like this space, I say, like, respectfully, just find something that you enjoy.

It's not like, you know, how people try to say like oh fuck off like you try to be like all edgy or some shit I'm like no I genuinely mean if there's a fucking video game it's like that pronoun shit that happened with Starfield if it really bothers you that badly just don't fucking play

I agree just don't fucking play like what are you doing what do you do well how could you even how could you even freak out about something like that so same goes with like people using specific words if they're using them around you in a in a public setting or something I understand that I really do I understand like sometimes Because my mom's one of those people and I hate it.

If she starts hearing some shit she doesn't like or she sees something she doesn't like, she interjects. And I'm like, mom, one day it's going to get you killed. You stop doing it. Some fucking guys started abusing his pregnant girlfriend and my mom fucking intervenes. And I'm like, if he's going to abuse his fucking pregnant girlfriend, what do you think that motherfucker is going to do to you? You don't get a fuck?

You know what? You're right. You're right about shit like that, right? But it hurts my heart. My instinct, my instinct is to get involved, right? That is a really bad thing I had to learn when I was growing up in your city, right? Because I watch superhero shit and I watch Power Rangers

and I and I have always my my sister would always say this is you have like the fucking heart of a hero in this world where heroes should not exist and it's stupid. She don't taste like this me when I was tiny I'd feel bad like when other kids would cry I were going up like hey it's okay and I tried to be friends with them and it's

stupid it's a pussy it is absolutely such a pussy reflex to be a kid like that but it's it's where that like nature of like people some people this just some people having that like you care about other groups and you want you want to try to be helpful right but in in your helpful nature you are at the at times being reductive to the problems that you're that you know like you're just make you're not making things better it's like all the white all the white women that cry about that end word being used right

and it's like dude shut up like it's it's not that big a video right you know you know you And I didn't say that for my group because that's the group I'm a part of, you know? Like, I understand that. You know, this for me, I think I just, and this might be the same for actually a lot of us. There, I think, personally, I guess I'll just speak for me. I'm so in tune with, like, real atrocities that are going on. And, uh, I think stuff like language is, it's so, it's such, it's such a non-issue to me personally because of

famine fucking ethnic cleansing things that are actually going on that I've been paying attention to since like the fucking Arab Spring to where I'm so removed of like when I hear like you say it was when that whole

third way we were talking about third wave feminism and all this stuff and like we can't wear our spaghetti straps in school I'm like shut the fuck up Iran bitch like that's where I kind of at that's kind of where I'm at with it where I just like it's hard for me to

actually care about that stuff even though I get it it's still important to other people I get I just I'm just I'm just past it man like I'm like fuck The world is so fucked And then like I'm hearing people complain about that shit Well dude even the soft language stuff

Just it I think it affects that stuff too You know what I mean there's like there's a lack of bluntness In the way that we talk about real shit that's going on Like people will be offended At you If you if you talk about talk about what's going on in Palestine is like being a genocide.

Yeah. Even though that's literally what it is. Like there's just objective. Like there's no metric by which you can measure that and not argue that it's, it is clearly a genocide. But what people will say is the conflict. Yeah. You know what I mean?

It's like, oh, there's conflict. And it's like, that doesn't tell me fucking anything. And that to me is the same thing as like taking retarded and like changing it to like, oh, well, mentally challenged or whatever. You know what I mean? it's not, you know what I mean? It's like, it comes from the same area of just like, let's numb down the language so we're not really sure about the actual toll of what's happening here. Let's like, yeah, it's good point.

Obfuscate it. Let's let's put, you know, soft, let's put pillows on the, on the corners of the table to protect everybody. But it's like, dude, you got to be aware of what the fuck's happening. Right. It makes it, yeah, it's, it makes it so, I've watched a lot of streams and a lot of stuff with like about, you know, everything's going on. And one thing that is always, it's like, I'm going to keep out the violence, right? Even though a lot of people say, I think you should see it. But obviously because the streaming platforms will be like, nope, you're gone.

But it's one of those things that I think about historically the Vietnam War when like war was live, like it was being covered live like for the first time. And the reporters that were actually like showing stuff. It changed the tide of public perception of what war is. And then there was just a major and massive amounts of protest. And that's exactly what we have now were some of the stuff that I've seen. You know, I'm just like, you know, I'm, I'm be honest, I'm a little numb to it because I've been, so I've been kind of like, since 2011, I've been really paying attention to a lot of North Africa and Middle Eastern struggles. And look at Ivy, I mean, I mean, though. But it's like, well, you know what I mean, though.

It's one of those things where I'm like, the amount of shit that I've seen, I'm just. just like, oh my God. And I imagine if most people saw that shit, they couldn't just pretend like it doesn't exist because it's, it's just like, you can't even describe, you don't even want to describe what you see because you know how horrible it is.

So like, but I guess it's necessary though. I'm not going to know this fucking podcast. This is the snark tank. I'm just saying. Yeah, yeah, we should move on. We should, let's get into, yeah, it's got a lot more serious than I thought it would. But, I mean, yeah, sometimes that happens.

I feel like it was a good conversation though There's a good fucking healthy discussion With like no I was gonna say retaration With no With nothing stupid happening in between Right right One thing I will say

You clean up your words Derek I'm trying I'm trying I'm gonna start wearing a fucking tie and shit One thing I will say You're gonna look down it's gonna be Studious Derek is gonna come back up Studious Derek Can I say this one thing before you move on

Move on to our questions Yeah I don't like that at some point in the past I don't know how many years, maybe 10 years, that I've noticed anyway, toilet paper became bath tissue? I don't like that. Is that real?

Yeah, that's real. Because I was ordering some on Instacart because I was just like, I got all the work to do here. I'm seeing to let somebody else do my grocery shopping or whatever. And it said like bath tissue instead of toilet paper, and I'm like, what the fuck? I think it's been like that for a while. But like, that's just another one.

It's like, are we so embarrassed? So we can't just admit This paper It's like it's like Look this paper is for the toilet I'm going to wipe my ass Now called urine sauce or something like that I want ass paper

Yeah I'm gonna take a I'm gonna go to I'm gonna quick urine sauce All right It is funny though Like I feel like I see some people's eyes When they're buying toilet paper They almost look kind of like shame shameful

Where I'm like Yeah It's but everybody has it What do you? I don't get it You need it? You don't need it? What the fuck?

What do you got a bidet? I want to get a bidet. I mean, yeah. Dude, I don't want a bidet. So there is a, you know, there is a, you know, the, the tushy or whatever that brand is. There's one's been sitting in my bathroom for over a year. The only reason I won't install it is because then I know, because there's one upstairs. And that shit is filthy, bro.

Motherfuckers be using that shit. I was like, if I install. this ship down here, they're going to be coming down and using this toilet. I'm like, I need a pristine throne. It cannot be dirty. It cannot be dirty. It is wiped down all the time.

I wipe down my toilet, ironically, every single time I use it. Every time before, and then I do it after too. I just can't, I'm very anal about that, and that's it. One of the few things you need is a a toilet that is clean and secluded. That is one

of the few things you need as a human. It's the office, man. It's the throne. It's the sanctuary. Whenever Lily tries to walk in on me in a toilet, I get so fucking furious. Because I'm like, this is the only place

I have. This is the only place that's just for me. Get the fuck out. Get out. I I hate it. I hate it, bro. It makes me so angry.

You know, couples who fucking just leave the door open. Because women just do it. I don't respect your boundaries. And I'm just like, what are you doing here? Like, why are you here? And like anything's like you don't need anything important enough to walk in here right now. Please get out. Yeah.

It's just... Shotgun to the... Shotgun to the face. You leave the door open. I close my door and I lock it. You know? There's a company jiggling. Hey, what's going on?

You're not coming in here. You're not coming in here. This is my time. I have to sit here and think and meditate. I'm not going to have you fucking interrupting me like that. You can't break my immersion. You break my immersion. I'm going to have a bad day.

I'm going to have a bad fucking day. Even, honestly, even showering with a partner, I don't. I kind of hate it, honestly. I can count that the amount of times I've done it. That's how little I've done it. I think I've done it like maybe like, no more than 10 times for sure Like maybe like seven

Less than 10 I would say less than 10 times But like that's your That is your that is your solitude Right exactly It's your vacation home That is fucking sanctuary That is your

You're there It's as close as we're ever gonna get It's as close as our generation's ever gonna get To a vacation home So let me fucking enjoy it God damn You know I just thought about the other day Putting my laptop in there

So I can like watch stuff like bigger You know, I just have shit on my, my phone. And I was like, yo, I can bring my laptop in here. It just occurred to me. I have, I seriously, I seriously, I have a, like, you know, those fold-out dinner tables? Yeah. I have one, I have one specifically for the bathroom. That's brilliant.

Just to watch, just to watch the vons. Sometimes I'll type, sometimes I'll work in there. That's brilliant. I've never, dude, I've been. I'm on the toilet, I can really get some work done like writing. Like, I'm writing a video right now, and, like, I feel like of the bathroom. Dude, I have some of the ideas in there. Because I do it.

I'm not even kidding. 90% of his shit. Why he's taking his shit. I'm not even joking. I will sit in a bath for like three hours on my phone writing. Because it's just like I can't be distracted by anything. You know, like I'm there.

I almost want what I want to do is kind of almost, I don't know how I would do this really, but like I kind of want to get like some way, like a device that I could use to write stuff in like while I'm in the bath that, isn't connected to anything. You know what I mean? So, like,

so there's not even, like, a hint of distraction. Like, I can't get a text message. I can't get, like, email. I can't, like, go on YouTube if I want. Just, like, straight up, just, like, something to write.

Like, some sort of, like, laminated tablet or something. Yeah, like, I don't know. Like, water, I mean, like, waterproof. There's water, I guess there's waterproof notepads, I guess, but, like, writing like that is kind of hard. I don't know. I would love that because I get a lot of work done in there,

like, sincerely. Absolutely. And people are like, why is he always in the bath? Like I've had people call I'm like You're always in the bath It's like I'm sorry

It's how I function Anyway Let's move on We got some questions to run through Oh yeah Let's kill him Nostra dumbass Rode in

This says hey crystal Pepsi Dr. Pib And watermelon Waterhead What's Waterhead? Waterhead? I don't like that I don't like that

Yeah wait What is that Is that a flavor of Wait, is that a... Because those are both sodas, but I've never heard of waterhead. Watermelon? I don't get it. It must be regional.

Must be regional. Yeah, maybe. Or just like, oh, only drinking... Oh, probably like, say, like, you're a metal head. I'm a this head. So it's just probably waterhead. Like, you just drink water. That's what I'm assuming.

I guess. It just kind of breaks the rule of... I eat watermelon so much. It kind of does. It just kind of breaks the rule of threes here. Like, Crystal Pepsi, Dr. Pibb, and watermelon and waterhead. All right. Whatever. Thanks for writing in.

I don't know. What act do you think is most... Which act do you think is most heinous and unforgivable? Pissing in the sink, upper-deckering, or waffle- stomping shit down a shower drain? Well, definitely upper-deckering. Hello, hello, I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Smart Talks with IBM. I recently sat down with IBM's chairman and CEO, Arvin Krishna. And I asked him, how can companies use AI to its fullest potential to create smarter business?

My one advice to them, pick areas you can scale. Don't pick the shiny little toys on the side. For example. If anybody has more than 10% of what they had for customer service 10 years ago, they're already five years behind it. If anybody is not using AI to make their developers who write software 30% more productive today with the goal of being. 70% more productive. Yeah. Wow. So we are not asking our clients to be the first experiment on it.

We say, you can leverage what we did. We're happy to bring out all our learnings, including what needs to change in the process, because the biggest change is not technology, is getting people to accept that there's a different way to do things. To listen to the full conversation, visit IBM.com slash smart talks. All right, quick quiz for the hiring managers out there. What's worse? Being understaffed or being poorly staffed?

sponsored jobs. What's the upper decker? Because like that is, that that's when you take a shit in the upper deck of your toilet. Oh, that's crazy.

That's insane. That's insane. No one does that. Yeah. Yeah, no, that's the worst. Trap boys do that. That's a frat boy thing. That's an easy.

That's an easy question to go by. Yeah, who the fuck does that? It's a, there's a, a band that I, one of my favorite bands they grow up with the red cord. They have a song called, I learned it because they have a song

called Upper Decker. And I was like, what the fuck is that? I looked it up. I was like, oh, That's some chimpanzee shit You should be put the sleeve if you do that That is fucking insane Yeah because like at first I was thinking like

Because I just didn't know what upper decorating is So to me it's like I mean First of all all this is fucking heinous And if you do any of this you should be fucking Excommunicated from wherever you are I don't care That's crazy But at the very least

Is the least offensive I actually don't know man Like To like Because the sink is so like your toothbrush is there you know like piss is sterile I guess I'll just

I'll piss down there it smells a little rank but then I have my Clorox wipes that are right down I guess so I can get away with pissing I could imagine in my lifetime pissing in a sink at some point because of a wild thing I would never shit down a drain that's crazy

that is crazy the upper decker is so crazy you just ruin the toilet you just fucking ruined it See, to me, what I'm thinking of was like, to me, with the waffle stomping, right? I'm thinking like, you're in the shower anyway, right? You are, you are permanently clean the whole time, basically. So, like, what difference does it make in comparison to the sink where, like, that's splashing all over the mirror, you know, like, it's not.

It's not great. It's bad. I would never fucking in a million years do that, but to me, it's like. Just think of it, like, just think of it, okay, would you, if you had to choose. between someone pissing in your face or shitting on your face. You know, it's obviously the problem. Right, right, right. I guess, right. But I guess for me, it's just like, would I rather

shit in the shower or shit in the sink? It's like, I think the shower. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm, that's kind of what I'm, that's what I'm talking about. The waffle stomping is so barbaric. That's the thing. You can't.

I understand the two different things. You have to grab the shit out of the sink because you can't push it down the little, fucking train. That's what I mean. It's like, and you're never going to be cleaning up. At the very least in the shower,

at the very least in the shower, you are just, you are, you are boiling underwater, you know what I mean? Like, there's like some sounds of like, I feel, here's why I say this.

I feel the most safe handling anything in the shower. Specifically, like, if I had to hold like toxic waste or something, I feel like if there was any place

that I would do that, it would be the shower. Because I would just, even if it doesn't make any sense, it would feel safer to me. Because I'm just constantly being clean It's like the safety under a blanket I get it

Like you're not actually safe So it can gut you But you feel secure The idea The idea of like Or if you're like Or if you're like Sweating anywhere

Like if I'm sweating in the shower It's like what the fuck does that matter You know what I mean Like it versus like sweating on the toilet It's like oh my God This is rough The reason why shit in the shower Bothers me so much

Is because a dirty shower Makes me feel unclean Oh 100% I totally get that So if there's a shit in the shower There's shit. I can't even imagine how filthy. It would probably take a week or two for my shower to finally feel normal again.

If I know that there's shit all over it. The idea of shitting down the shower and walking down is barbaric, though. It is some chimpanzee shit. It's barbaric. It upsets me that there's probably at least two listeners. Just by pure metrics that have done it. Just that have just stopped their shit. The thing that sticks out to me about pissing in the sink, though, is,

I'm a short guy, so I would have to like climb a little bit to even do that. So like the idea... You'd have to have your knees on the sink and you're pissing in the sink. That is crazy. That is fucking crazy. I get to stand over and do it. You'd have to have your knees on the sink. It's like my...

Your legs pointing outward and you're pissing in the sink. And I'd be like, bro, you could have just used the toilet. You could have... The work you did to do that, you could have just used the toilet. Yeah, my dick is... sink level generally but like it's still kind of like you know you gotta get up and over

you gotta throw it over oh um but okay but here's a question um here's a question uh pee in the shower no pee in the shower no pee in the shower um I don't but if if I have to

I'll do it you know it doesn't happen regularly try not to but like if you really got to it depends like if it was one of those things where like if I had the urge to pee after I'm already in the shower I'm like I'm not gonna get out right that's what I'm gonna drip water all over the fucking place

so it's really like that like I have definitely peeve from in the shower into the toilet many times in my life I've definitely I've done that as well actually though honestly I think I didn't just and you have like you have like a little bit so you'll send to catch a little bit of the pee that might dribble out and you just no no no no but you got the pee

you caught the pee it over a little bit You just like you lean like this over whole pelvis in the toilet. That's fucking dangerous. I went to a party one time. I went to a party one time and I found a guy with his pants down, passed out in a toilet like that. That's awesome. He was lying on the toilet in the tub and I was like, what happened to you? That's what?

Do you rob him? I thought about it. I thought about rob him. It crossed my mind. Yeah. That was like, these are just goods to take now. You got to have to that point. The pee and the shower thing is less, like, way, way less egregious.

I don't know. I know people who make, like, a big deal out of it. I guess if you're doing it constantly, that's crazy. But, like, I don't know, I don't think there's, I remember I had somebody, and this is Seinfeld episode, too, but, like, I had somebody make this argument to be generous. It's like, you can't piss in the shower. You're going to get all the fucking pipes mixed up. And it's like, if there, if, dude, if anything, if I'm showering.

Yeah, that's what I'm. Excuse me? Right, right, yeah. Well, first of all, go ahead, go ahead. Anything that's, anything that I wouldn't want. So if I'm showering and everything's coming off of me anyway, right, it's going down into a drain that I wouldn't want anywhere anywhere near, like, my drinking water, even if there was no pee. Hello, hello, I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of Smart Talks with IBM. I recently spoke with IBM's new director of research, Jake Mbeta.

We discussed his vision for the future of quantum computing. At IBM research, what we always do is answer what is the future of computing, whether it's coming up with new algorithms, coming up with better AI, coming up with quantum, or coming up with just how do different accelerators go together. It's our DNA to answer the question of what is the future. Isn't it a perfect problem for IBM because you kind of need to, to have a legacy of building stuff, building actual physical machines.

Yeah, it's why I came to IBM. I wanted the experience, the culture of building hard things that others have not done before. Where do you imagine we are in the timeline of this technology? There will come a point when it will mature. Right?

My cell phone is a mature technology at this point. How far are we from that point? with quantum. By 2029, we'll build the first fault-tolerant quantum computer. That is one that can run a very, very large, large problem. To learn how IBM is building the future of computing, visit IBM.com slash quantum. All right, quick quiz for the hiring managers out there.

So the addition of P to that concoction doesn't really do anything because to me it's like just like, just like, It's all waste anyway. You know what I mean? It is. It is. It literally, look, man, when you're dirty, you're scrubbing off dead skin and bacteria shitting all over you. I mean, like, what the fuck do you think it is?

Like, do people not understand that? I guess, I don't know. People are weird about it. I don't get it. I also go, to be fair, and like a really, I'm a, I wouldn't say I'm a germaphobe because I'm not that level, but I clean a lot. Like, a lot. I'm slightly germophobic. my bathroom has to be fucking pristine

I wipe down my tub I like bleach it I do all sorts of shit To my tub like like Rang you learn so much Lily is absolutely a fucking German phoic person And like I'm like I'm a dude Like I'm a dude that like had to deal with like really overly cleanly parents when I was growing up

Yeah So I kind of was like I was very more lenient about like making messes And now right now She's brainwashed minted like if As soon as people are done eating in a house I have to clean because I because of my brain is just I don't want to do with Lily yelling at me or annoying me about it not being cleaned immediately so as soon as people done cleaning

I clean I like the moment I mean I what does she do me what does she do my dishes immediately huh does she clean no like no like I'm like the moment people are done eating I will clean where they sat how clean the dishes and how dry everything and so I just don't have to heal her be like we have to clean now and I'm like I want to relax because there's nothing my my trigger is when I sit down to relax and you pull me up from relaxing, it annoys the fuck out of me. Look, man, I'm a grown ass male. I've earned my adulthood.

I will do things when I'm damn well fucking ready to do it. Like, that is, I am not a child anymore. That was literally what I had to go through when I was a fucking child. Where they don't care. Oh, I'm playing a game. You're playing an online game that can't fucking pause. I don't give a fuck. Go do this.

Oh, no. That. I'm just like, I can't do it. Now give me a second. Well, that's what I'm saying. But the nagging. For me, it's the nagging. I can't deal with it.

Well, God bless you. God bless you because I... You know good people. Yeah, I can't. I don't look at, man. The only time... So, uh, uh, Jojo just bought something recently.

It's the sandwich press thing. It's pretty cool. It looks like a George Foreman grill, but it's designed for, to do, uh, for sandwiches, right? Is this like a pinni press? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's like that, basically. Yeah, cool, cool.

Yeah, and I was like, oh, cool and stuff. And then I used it. You know, I was sitting down. She was like, hey, you do me a favor? Could you pack it up? She didn't want me to leave it out. And I was like, yeah, yeah. And then she texted me a few minutes later like, no, I meant like now, not later.

And then I was just like, okay, Nick, I cleaned it. I was like, I'm never using this thing again. I'm just, I've never, I totally, because I totally understand that. Same. I love that. I totally understand that reaction where it's like. Or for me, for me, it's like, here's this cool thing. There's this cool thing. Use it.

And then it's like, oh, now it's an obligation, this thing. Yeah. I was like, I have the same thing. It's the same thing with like my, my George Foreman Grill was the, it was the same thing. Where it's like, I was like, I'm not using this thing ever again. I used it once and then like just cleaning it. It was such a hassle. I was like, I'm not doing this.

Like, fuck this. It sucked all the like convenience out of it. I love using my blender. I love making smoothies. But I hate, I make the smoothies. I can't you clean it. Because for me personally, my instinct is that. When I'm done cooking, I like to clean while I'm cooking or right after I'm done.

Me too, yeah. Unfortunately, that makes food worse technically because you don't eat it while it's like really hot. You don't eat it perfect. Yeah. I eat it when it's like already cool because I'm like washing my hands. You know, I'm like doing all my stuff. But for things like for Lillian, she'll, when she cooks, she's like, I want to eat first. For me, I'm like when I cook, like, yo, you got to clean this right now.

Because I'm going to forget to clean it. and then I'm going to have to do this and I'm going to have to clean it now. Clean it right now. And she gets so mad. I'm like, if you don't clean this right now, I'll put it in the fucking bed wet. I will do that. I will do that. I will go that far.

You guys have a. That might be abuse. That might be an abusive thing to do. But she doesn't do it now. I taught her. I taught her how to not do it. It's all domestication. The, uh, yeah, I don't know, man, like, I guess, I guess for me, as like a single guy,

I just sort of like, I never have enough dishes, you know what I mean, to, like, they don't pile up. Unless I'm seeing somebody and they're here all the time, that doesn't happen. Because, like, I immediately clean my stuff when I'm done. Or, like, just straight up, like, today I made eggs in, like, a pan or whatever. It ate out of the pan. You know what I mean? Like, what am I going to? dirty a dish

That's fine That's I don't give That is That is Well that's I would say That is totally

Bachelor shit Because It's That's not That's not I wouldn't say It's abnormal I guess

I don't know What I want to use Because It's odd It's odd But I understand Here's my thing I don't like

Cooking a lot So I heavily advocate Other than big meals When there's like Let's do the Pasta or Whatever the fuck

Paper plates And plastic utensils. Paper plates, paper plates, as what gives me, I'm clicking, today I'm cooking,

right? I'm cooking tonight because I want to make, I want my meal prep for the week. So I'm cooking tonight. I'm going to make a lot of rice. I'll make a lot of vegetables and I'm like a lot of like pan,

like grilled chicken, right? That's what I'm making for myself tonight. If I had plastic pots and pants, I swear to God, I do you put to that out. If I can figure it out, if I could somehow

tweak it until that can work, I would do it because I don't have a problem doing this because you start doing dishes right and you realize that like it's not that. It's not that many. It's really not that many. It's like me. It's like me and my girlfriend, you know. Every now and Chris comes over, he might eat or like my friend Ben or me and they might come over. They might eat. No, but even when I come over. 35 inches. Even when I come over to people's places, I rinse my shit like immediately. It's like 35 dishes. It's like an extra utensil or two or a plate and maybe a spoon. but I hate being told to do the dishes that's what bothers me

it's being told to do it I'm doing a goddamn I'm pretty lenient where it's like I want to make them they shouldn't be in the sink for more than 24 hours I'm pretty lenient I'm lenient where sometimes projects something happens you'll be like fuck I got to go to sleep

and I got to go to work or whatever the thing is but like I say 24 it can't sit for an entire fucking day where it's like bro 24 hours of past by, you had time to do the thing. So it's more of a just I can't. I can't. I've definitely

had 24. I've definitely had like a pot. I've definitely had like a pot like soaking for at least like two days before. I've definitely had that. I've definitely done it before. I could not imagine doing that now anymore. Even at like other people's places, I couldn't imagine doing that now. I feel like I

would have a panic attack. I mean, it's a good habit. It's good that you I'll be getting nagged from the ethereal plane. I'm like, I can't do this. And I would get up and I'll go and I would just clean it. They'd find me in the dark in their kitchen cleaning it. Like what are you doing? I'm just to have to.

She won't stop. And I'll just keep cleaning it. Anyway, don't stop your shit down the drain, please. Don't double. This is it called double decker is what it's called? Upper Decker. Yeah, upper decker. That's fucking.

I've actually straight. I can't believe I've never heard of that before. Like straight. Hello, hello. I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Smart Talks with IBM.

You're not some fucking frat boy that likes to like, you know, stick fingers in your boy's asses and say it's a joke and all that shit.

You know, but fuck your friend to say, I'm kidding. Yeah. Dude, it is so weird how gay that shit is. like actually it's it's gayer than like most gay relationships I think like the type of shit they would do to each other no a million percent

yeah at least a gay relationship is based on a foundation of like love and trust this is just literally sucking fucking and like sticking fingers up asses for no reason it's insane anyway just slow stroking your boy and you're like what are you doing

dude what are you doing I need to do it to get in La Mow, I made you come on my fucking chin L-O-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-A-Mal, you had an anal orgasm for me fucking you And it's like, what? Ha-ha, I got you. You just gave your buddy some pipe and you're like,

you're like making one of him? I got you really drunk in there. I take a picture of your fucking penis while you were asleep and then now it's the background of my phone all the time. Ha-a-ha, jokes on you. Isn't it funny? I had a friend like that, man. I had a friend like that.

He's like, oh, like, I forgot what joke he did, but he just put a, it was a cell phone picture. It was a picture on his cell phone, the flip phone at the angle where it's down. So you can see like his torso and his penis. Like his penis is like really superimposed. But then you can see his torso. And so he said something to get you to look at his phone. I can't remember what it was. But he thought it was so funny.

And I'm like, I don't. Why is showing your dick to people so fucking funny, dude? It's like, why he was such a frat boy for no reason. None of us were doing that with him. I hated frat boys. Look, if you have a massive penis, I get it. You're just showing off or something. But that nigga was 5'2.

You know, his penis was appropriate for his size. So it's like, what do you even do it? I don't know, you should see that fucking alien guy. That fucking baby alien? What's his name? Was that weird guy's name? It's fucking crazy. Does baby only have a giant penis?

Dude, size is like, it's really disturbing how deceptive that is, where it's like, that is, it's weird to me that somebody who's four foot two can have like a, like an eight-inch dick. It makes no sense to me. Right. And then, like, there's that Reddit page. Because you have to imagine then that there's like, dude, there's probably like six foot three people with like. Yeah, dude, there's a Reddit page of like, that's so sad. dudes complaining about being like 6 foot 5 and having an average size penis which looks like a baby

dick on their body. That makes sense. Yeah. That makes sense. That sucks. Like that's, that sucks ass. I have to go to that ready. That sounds so funny.

Kingston, your microphone is off, Rodin. Mike is off? You sure? No, that's his name. That's his name. Don't worry. Oh, that's such a stupid fucking name. He got me.

He got me. God damn. You got a bitch. Retard. Ignore my other question. The impulsive thoughts one. Ignore my other question if it's in this thread. What are some music covers that clear the original song in your opinion?

Donnie Hathaway's version of jealous guy is so much better than anything the Beatles ever made. John Lennon had it coming. Thanks again for... We did mention... We did mention... I mean, I got what I got named easy right now. We mentioned Whitney Houston. That is the most true one, right?

That's like obviously better. There's one black sheet by what you call it from Scott Program by... Oh, uh... Carol Danvers. No, I don't think it's better, but like, yeah. I 100% think it's better. Two million percent is better.

That's crazy, but God bless. She just sings it better. She sounds better. I just disagree. I think she sounds way more produced for sure, but like I don't think that makes it better. I don't think it clears it. I'll put it that way. I think it's fine. I think it's good, but I don't think it clears the original Black Sheep.

Every Luther Vandross song, because pretty much everything Luther Vandross sang was a cover. He didn't make any of his music, which is insane. And that makes me feel so sad. It's genius, man. If my grandma wasn't sick and like near, near the abyss, telling that to her would kill her. Went to my grandma and I was like, Grandma, you know every song with Evangro sang

was a cover? She'd be like, huh? And she'd disappear. She'd be like, Cano, can no, and then she would die. I think it's a hot take, but I listen to the original, not the original,

I listened to Disturbs version of the sound of silence so many times to prepare for my Suss cover that I actually feel like I enjoy that version of it more than the original now which I used to always be like no I really like the moodiness

it's not too it wasn't too dark it was like but I don't know for some reason it's weird it's almost like it's just infected me in a way that I'm not completely I don't know how I

I don't know how to feel about it it kind of makes me a little sad because things seeming and game uncle, you know, they're the men. They're the men, I guess. Hello, darkness, my own friend. I've come to talk. Yeah, I don't know.

I think, um, there's some obvious ones. There's some obvious ones that I think come to mind whenever I think of this specific idea or this, this, this premise. But like, Ibino did a cover of, um, what do you do a cover of? It was a good song.

Um, I'm glad you interrupted me for this. Let me think. I thought I was speaking lower than I was. My apologies. I thought you were at least going to remember what it is your say. But so Mad World by Gary Jules, I think, is probably, you know. That's a good one.

That's a very good one. Yeah. I agree. I agree. And I love Cheers for Fears. I actually like that original one too for like a different reason. But like there's unquestionably, like that Gary Jules Mad World is really fucking special. and just...

You're totally right. It's totally... I don't know if it's because of it's associated with Gears of War in my head or not, but I'm sure that plays some kind of part of it. But it is just really cool.

I think Hurt by Johnny Cash is another one where like... Nine-inch nails. I like nine-inch nails. Nine-inch. The fact that Johnny Cash covered that sound is crazy.

Yeah, so that was when he was working with, I think you might have been working with Rick Rubin, if I remember correctly, that got him to, you know, start looking into more of, uh, hipper stuff. You know, because, because Rick Rubin was also was obviously a Def Jam founder and stuff. So he's always been, like, in tune with shit. Like, I mean, that's one of the weirdest niggas on the planet Earth, but I mean, he's produced some of the dopest albums out there. So, well, you know, what are you going to do? And I can be totally wrong.

Last one before I forget. Yeah. Black Magic Woman. Who's the original? Fleetwood Mac. Hello, hello. I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of Smart Talks with IBM. I recently spoke with IBM's new director of research, Jake Mbata.

We discussed his vision for the future of quantum computing. At IBM research, what we always do is answer what is the future of computing. Whether it's coming up with new algorithms, coming up with better AI, coming up with quantum, or coming up with just how do different accelerators go together. It's our DNA to answer the question of what is the future. Isn't it a perfect problem for IBM because you kind of need to have a legacy of building stuff? Yes. Building actual physical machines.

Yeah, it's why I came to IBM. I wanted the experience, the culture of building hard things. things that others have not done before. Where do you imagine we are in the timeline of this technology? There will come a point when it will mature. Right? My cell phone is a mature technology at this point. How far are we from that point with Kondo?

By 2029, we'll build the first fault-tolerant quantum computer. That is one that can run a very, very large, large problem. To learn how IBM is building the future of computing, visit IBM.com slash quantum. All right, quick quiz for the hiring managers out there. What's worse? Being understaffed or being poorly staffed?

Well, that's a trick question, because both are recipes for chaos. Either way, just say to yourself, this is a job for indeed sponsored jobs. You'll get matched with candidates that meet the skills, certifications, and everything else you're looking for. Or go a different way and get no traction.

Isn't that crazy? I didn't know that for the longest fucking time. I thought for sure that was like... What's the time are you talking about? Santana. Black Magic Woman by Santana. That's a cover of a Fleetwood Mac. I thought though.

I never do that. That's hilarious. Isn't that crazy? It makes me feel like Santana's a lie. Yeah, kind of, right? I learned that this year, dude. Like, I learned that, like, I think, like, a few months ago because I was, like, looking up, like, it came on, like,

by Spotify radio, and I was like, this isn't Santana. What the fuck? And I looked at it, and it was fucking Fleetwood Mac. And it was from, like, way, fucking long ago. Wait, that's not Santana's song. What? Huh? Yeah.

That's weird. This is why I tell people, by the way, that I love, this is why I say, man, I love, I love Fleetwood Mac. I really love that band. Because they just do a lot of crate. They do so much good shit that, and, and even to this day, I'm like, Oh, fuck. They wrote Black Magic Woman

That's fucking crazy. I really thought that was Santana, like the entire time. That's such an Afro-Latino song. Yeah. That's what confuses me. It's such like a black Hispanic. Like, it makes a perfect sense. Like, it makes a Hispanic experience.

Oh, here's Santana. He's singing and he's some brouha, you know, like, and I'm like, oh, right. Right. Okay. All right. It's nuts, man. And.

All right then. Yeah. So I'm sure there's a lot of people. I'm sure there's a lot of people who didn't know. that either, but also honorable mention our, I think our version, I know it's not a cover necessarily, specifically, but

our version of radioactive clears. I think it's weird. It's so good. I'm sorry. And I genuinely, I'm not saying that as a joke, by the way. I genuinely do think our version is just way harder and way cooler. Actually. More passion, man. Waking up

ass and butt. You can't beat that, man. Brown, when I slap. The idea of slapping your nuts in preparation is crazy. That's such a barbaric way to live. Dude, I've peed and I've been a little too rough near my balls

before and I had a mild tummy ache. The idea of slapping of my preparation is You gotta get yourself going, man. And the idea of putting my balls away, have I been a little too rough and I've been like, oh man, my tummy hurts. The idea of waking up, giving one quick plop

and then going on the battle is insane to me. How do you guys feel about Love Song, 311's version of love song. I don't think I've ever heard 311's version of love song. I don't know, wait, what's love song? So, you know, whenever I'm alone with you, you make me feel like I am home again. Like, Colin loves 311, but I've never actually heard any of it.

So the cure, you know, it's a great two-step 80s fucking, you know, bop. But 3-11 did their reggae version of it. I remember it actually, there was a music video to it that was tied with that Adam Sandler movie. What was it called? The 51st Dates, maybe? Probably, yeah. I think so it came out around that time. And I really, I think their version is fucking awesome.

I think they, you know, White Boys playing reggae still boggues me a little bit, but like, 311, they're pretty good sometimes. Yeah, that's Colin's favorite band. That's one of the favorite bands. I think they have, they're not insane. It's just like, oh. That is so hit or miss for me. band for sure, which is, I think, I think that's just so interesting. Because, like, I've never, they've never resonated with me even slightly.

They have some really good songs, like Amber is one of my favorite. I love the song Amber. It's a great fucking song. Investigate. But then there's a song called Down. That is one of the worst songs I've ever heard because it has this fucking white boy rapping. Like, yeah, it sounds, it's way worse than Limbiscuit. And then you guys might have heard the chorus, like,

Duna da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da down down Oh my god I know what that is Ew They did that But de la bica bona borghum It didn't a much Wait is that 311's down? That's 311 down

That's so funny So much I hate that song so much You know what's crazy? I really think I think Eminem has done such damage To white people as a rapper than he's done the Black Who has rappers

Because I think he's just barred them From existing in a place Because if you're not tip pop You can't be there He's even barred himself He's barred himself from it I think I hate

I hate this song I hear you listening to it? I yeah I can't believe That this is them I have always I forgot about this Because I hate it so deep

Now go listen to Now go listen to Amber by 311. Oh, no, I know. I've heard that one. It's, okay. It's not. That's a good song. And then they put out shit like that.

Well, it's, congratulations. And I'm like, what the fuck is this? It's so stupid. And I hear it on the radio regularly. Oh, I'm sorry, man. That's crazy. To hear 311 on the radio regularly today is nuts. Yeah, you like that shit, right?

They sound like, they sound like white people rapping like black people in the 80s. I said they hit me. It's, I say, I'm not even being hyper. Sorry, Colin.

Sorry, Colin. No offense, but. I hope Colin doesn't, well, if it's his favorite band, he's got to like this song.

Congratulations. It's either congratulations. Oh, I hate it. I hate it. All right. Let's move on. Let's move on.

Let's get out of here. I can't. Sucking lots of penis because I'm down. Down. Move on the next question. Oh, man. That reignited such a deep loathing. Drop the soap, parentheses, don't drop the soap, baby,

wrote in. This is hello, ethos, pathos, and logos. Logos? Nice. No, it's Logos. Very cool. Logos. Yeah.

As a child, I was bewildered. As a child, I was bewildered by how blatantly deceptive the classic food pyramid was. What shallow deceptions bewildered your infantile minds during childhood? I don't know if I have an answer for this, but, like, I just wanted to bring up the fact that that food. Pyramid is insane looking back on it. It is pretty hilarious. They really had us convinced of the most insane shit in like the 90s.

It just shows you how corrupt everything is. All you do is pay a little bit of money and be like, put this, put this on as the most important shit when it's... One from the 90s said, one from 1999 I'm reading it says bread, cereal, rice, pasta. should have six to 11 servings a day. What the fuck? And they wonder why we got so fucking fat. It is fucking insane.

It is fucking insane. You know what's a crazy thing? I realized that blew my mind that when I was little, my brain couldn't conceptualize it. And I took time. When I realized the inside of an igloo was warm, it made my brain hurt really bad. Well, I guess relative. Like, it's insulated. So the heat doesn't escape so it can get warm.

You can light a fire in there and it'll warm. It'll be warm. And I was like, how? That is weird. And then when I found out that the way that, the way that, like, the way that water works, how it freezes and keeps things alive in the lower parts. I was like, how, how, how it do that? Isn't it cold? Do that.

Ain't it cold how I do that? Because I was, because I would always think about like, oh, when winter comes, everything's going to die. There's going to get too culprits of the be out there. But they're like, no, fish just go under and they live in the warm water below, not up top. And I'm like, how? How do that? How you learn? The world is crazy.

Scientists, wow. Water in general is a wild fucking thing. Everything's nuts, man. When you think about how, like, when you actually start thinking about how things work, you're like, oh. Yeah, this is... It's magic. I mean, it might as well be. It might as well be, even though there's like an explanation for like most things.

It's, you know, microwaves literally should make, like, I'm the idea of a microwave. If you said that somebody 400 years ago, they would kill you. They would kill you. Bro, through radio waves, it still baffles me. It just doesn't make sense to me. It doesn't. It just, like, it does make sense because I've. learned about it, but just as a concept.

Like, for example, when we started tapping into Bluetooth and then air dropping, when that became a thing, it's just I'm like, what the how? How am I able to transfer so much shit with no effort at all? It blows my fucking mind. It's, I don't get it. I feel like that's all everybody felt when we went from like analog to like digital, like say like chips, when people started using things that were like, wait, how, how am I

storing this much data on something so fucking tiny. I don't even, that shit seems alien to me. Nothing, this shit makes sense to me when I, when I really think about it. Yeah, honestly, like, it's so funny how much, like, even just the, the, the, the base form of a lot of what we consume as far as, like, media goes, like, its original form to me is, like, infinitely more mystical and magical than what, what is objectively true about how we consume it today, which is just like kind of through the air and like, you know what I mean? It's like, oh, you send me an email and it's a file, right?

Or like, you send me a song through an email and it's a file and I can download it. I understand that like that is like a crazy thing. But at the same time, to me, to me, it's crazier that people were like, oh, let's like take wax and then scratch sound onto it. And then we'll just re-scratch the sound back when we want to hear it again with a needle and like a sp- You know what I mean? Like it just- Yeah.

I don't- I don't like- You need to do. It seems that. It seems backwards almost. That's crazier. That is, that is crazy.

But I think the entire idea of the modern concept does it dawn on you? How much more wildly. wildly insane it is. You are 100% correct. Because effectively you're putting nothing, you're practically putting nothing. That thing has no physical value at all onto something, and then something appears there.

You're right. Of ones and zeros. No, you're totally, I'm not, I am very, very self-aware of the fact that what is happening now is infinitely more impressive. It's just to me the thought process of even figuring out, out that thing in the first place.

Of getting there. Oh, I know how to make sound. I know how to make a record. I'll press wax with microstopic fucking divots and somehow record that onto just all of that shit. Like everything.

Yeah, people, yeah. I watched a documentary of that because of how just wild of a concept it is when you think about it. And even after I was finished watching, I'm just like, I still don't feel any better about this.

because it's it's just something like us in our lifetime if we live like 100 years it's like are we going to do anything that fucking phenomenal because that is such a phenomenal thing to have figured out like I need this I need a magnet

I need this stuff and then to get this to work to actually make that process that is such a phenomenal thing to figure out I'm like bro I what's crazy is that the next if I can figure out how to shoot come for like six feet I think that would be the closest thing.

What's crazy is that we're at that point with technology where that next, that next, like what the fuck moment is going to change how we live entirely. Like that next like. What do you think it's going to be? Medicine, I think that adapts to your body. Hello, hello. I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Smart Talks with IBM. I recently sat down with IBM's chairman and CEO.

Arvin Krishna, and I asked him, how can companies use AI to its fullest potential to create smarter business? My one advice to them, pick areas you can scale. Don't pick the shiny little toys on the side. For example. If anybody has more than 10% of what they had for customer service 10 years ago, they're already five years behind it. If anybody is not using AI to make their developers who write software 30% more productive today, with the goal of being 70% more productive. Yeah. So we are not asking our clients to be the first experiment on it. We say you can leverage what we did.

We're happy to bring out all our learnings, including what needs to change in the process. Because the biggest change is not technology. It's getting people to accept that there's a different way to do things. To listen to the full conversation, visit IBM.com slash smart talks. All right, quick quiz for the hiring managers out there.

Well, that's what people are saying they were going to do with nanotech. Like they were going to get inject bots in you that will eradicate whatever is ailing you. I don't understand nanotechnology well enough, but I can understand how like various. I think it's so far away from that, but I understand. like that. I can understand a medication one. Yeah. Kingston will say he doesn't understand it well enough.

I don't understand it at all. So I don't have no. Like technology, technology in general is not my forte. I don't think about, I really, it really bothers me how little I, I think so much.

I overthink myself to death a lot of times, but I don't really think about like how things work really. You know what I mean? Like I don't fully know. think a lot, but you don't know much, you know? Right, yeah. I think a lot.

I don't know much. I don't know a lot. I feel like I understand a lot about like, you know, emotions and shit like that. But like, I don't know. I could never, like, if I went back in time to like the 1920s with the idea of like the smartphone, I wouldn't be able to capitalize that on that at all. You know what I mean? Like there would be nothing I could fucking do to be like, oh, well, because I would be like,

oh, I have this idea for like a device that has everything on it. And like you could call people on and you can send people messages. Somebody would be like, great, how do you make it? I'd be like, I don't know. That's it. I have no fucking idea. I really, I don't know the first fucking thing about how the phone works, really. Yeah.

And that kind of bothers me. I feel like I should know. They have a camera? I don't know. Microphones. I want to make a camera. And I was like, hmm. It's crazy.

I don't understand any of that. shit. I understand like complex molecules. I can probably put a few of those together and I might mess up one or two. One or two. I might mess up one or two things but I'll get close. It is easier for me to, it is easier for me to like

break down like how biological things work than it is for me to break down like how a computer works honestly. Like I really have no fucking I don't know. It's weird. You know what I had to do? So my old my old PC was having some issues and I think the startup button's fucked up right now and so I was looking at my model of my motherboard and I was like all right so trying to find where I could you know force start it

and like usually I was like all right there's a way to do it and then trying to locate it because everyone's like oh you got to find the thing and it'll have the label on it mine doesn't it doesn't have a label or shows the specific pins you need to usually take a screwdriver touch these pins it'll forced started or whatever and I've I just felt so fucking stupid when I'm trying to like really understand I actually broke out the manual and started reading it and I'm like this just this one piece is so I'm like the way that people make these things it like it doesn't it's so where I'm like I feel like a redneck where they get the pieces of the car they can assemble it but you know they're not building the catalytic converter or the fucking it you know they're

not building all of the pieces. They're getting the pieces and then they're assembling it together which is as close as what when people talk about building PCs and there's some weird tribal like thing to it like it's some type of a what did you call a right of passage or I'm like

you're basically stacking fucking Legos but you're stacking Lego and you're not actually constructing the Lego itself. They're not soldering. They're not they're not balancing the charge it not challenge. They're not balancing no wattage on things. They're not doing, obviously, no.

That's why, like, when people feel the way like, oh, you didn't build your PC and I'm like, what the fuck's the difference? The only difference is, because I can literally, I've taken apart my PC, I could put it back together. Why is that so fucking impressive? I don't understand, like, if you enjoy doing it,

fair play, I'm not even shitting on you. It's the whole, when you talk about PC Master Race, right? Those people, there's a certain vibe of people that act like it's, it's a thing, and they're doing something where I'm like, it's just a hobby, bitch. And same when people build cars.

It's a hobby, but them niggas, you don't really know how to build a car. Not really. There's like a handful of people that can like build everything from scratch. Like if, like if society fail, you'd be like, hey, Dale and Tyler are the two people we know that can put together of a combustion engine. I read something recently. Keep them alive. We need them here. Right.

I read something recently, and the specifics of this might be all over the place. The information of my head is kind of all over the place. But the general idea was that like there's this guy, there's this one guy who is almost solely responsible for making or understanding like the chemical compounds of like this very specific type of glue that's used in like a high like 99% of our infrastructure. And only he knows how to make it and he's like fucking old. so like if he just dies like there have been instances where like only one person understands how to do something and they have to spend like millions and millions and millions of dollars on researching how to get to get to that point because the person was just like not willing to share that information

or like some that's happened at least a few that's happened at least like three times okay because they should be tortured I feel like that's happening actually right now it's happening actually right now with with I'm sure you guys have seen it like you know Wallace and Gromit and like the studio that does that claymation stuff that clay the specific clay that they used to make that stuff is made by one factory and they're going to close soon and no one knows how to make it except for the people in that factory heard about that and i was like that's crazy so claymation might die unless like millions of dollars go into like researching like how to how to fuck it or like reverse engineering that clay sam fisher who's sam fisher of the united states right now go get ghost tomorrow for two or is he british i don't remember which one that niggas ghost is british Ethan rich just you

American, I'm pretty sure. All right, M. I five or whatever, MI6, whatever the fuck is going on right now. Just, don't we have real life people to do it? Slap the sin out of his balls. Slap the sin. Slap the flaming fuck out of his balls, bro. Like, to the point. To the point that his balls look like, they look like, they look like they've been high-fived.

Like, slap his balls to their bright and red like Rudolph's nose. People just withholding information. People that think that I don't want to teach other people stuff is so insane in me. Because you are going to die one day and you are going to be gone. You are not going to exist. Why on earth do you think it's okay for you to this withhold information? That will help the rest of society exist. That's so insanely evil and selfish.

Do you think greed and hoarding is a human trait that some people kind of just, inherently have? Or you think that... Yeah? I'd wrestle with that concept. I think some people are just greedier than other people. I think greed is a human trait

and I think like a lot of our base are human traits, we are capable of overcoming them and understanding that they're dumb because we're not simple apes anymore. We have society. But I think a lot of the times we don't attempt to try

to get over these stupid like monkey instinct things that we go through and it's really annoying. Do you think there is, because I feel like it's coupled with a lack of morality or do you think, or sorry, and a lack of, well, I guess I would say morality,

but also what I'm really meant to say is empathy. Like, say, like, I guess let me ask you, do you think these people are conscious of how immoral that is or do you think they just don't even think about it? Like, say, I don't think they understand it. Like, yeah, like,

Because that's the part that I have the hardest It doesn't make sense to me personally Or like if I have a resource that I know that could truly help the world Or if I had billions of dollars And I know that me and my kids could not use that Probably 20 generations down the line Like I'm just I can't hold on to this money It's fucking useless

But then the other people that can just do it And know that indirectly They're causing people to suffer. And it's something that I'm like, are they, are you conscious of this? Have you not, is someone not ran into you and told this to you? Hello, hello. I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of smart talks with IBM. I recently spoke with IBM's new director of research, Jake Gambata.

Give them the fucking Playto. Give them the glue. Just give them the fucking glue. Just goddamn, dude. Give them the glue. That's the shit. That's what people that complain about AI about it. It's like AI is going to know more.

the way are. I don't think, like, I think AI's gonna, like everything that computers know people know, you know, for the most part, vast most part,

people know. Yeah. The problem is that the AI will be able to act as easy and the people will be able to access it. That's a scary thing. Because, like, computers can send information to people,

each other, each other way fast than a person can call and explain to somebody else, everything that's going on, you know. But the whole thing about, like, computer builders,

they're like, yeah, AI will have information, but like, we're humans. We're going to understand how to communicate. Did you see that thing

where like the AI the AI art is inbreeding now? Have you seen this? This is the last thing we can get off and we can leave but I think it's interesting. For sure. So there's so much

Mom porn by AI. No, no, no, no, no. So there's so much AI. So AI art is obviously trained by, you know, scouring the internet looking for images.

So like, oh, I want my AI to draw a picture of a tree. And so it'll scour the internet for every picture of a tree and then it'll draw something based on those images. Now there are so many AI, there are so many AI versions or so many AI generated images of so many things that now the AI models are being trained on those AI images and the results are getting worse because they're basically inbreeding. They're basically using, you know, AI art of a tree to understand what a tree looks like. And as a result, it's starting to draw trees wrong. And it's like starting to fuck up all these things that they were getting really good at before.

Which is fucking super fascinating. Let it kill itself. It's super fucking interesting. But, uh, yeah, anyway. Just let AI to kill itself. Let AI do its own work and make itself die. Yeah, I don't want to take my gay cover job. Don't, don't take.

I'm gay bird person. Hello, hello, I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Smart Talks with IBM. I recently sat down with IBM's chairman and CEO, Arvin Krishna. And I asked him, how can companies use AI to its fullest potential to create smarter business? My one advice to that. Big areas you can scale. Don't pick the shiny little toys on the side. For example.

If anybody has more than 10% of what they had for customer service 10 years ago, they're already five years behind it. If anybody is not using AI to make their developers who write software 30% more productive today, with the goal of being 70% more productive. Yeah. Wow. So we are not asking our clients to be the first experiment on it. We say you can leverage what we did.

We're happy to bring out all our learnings, including what needs to change in the process, because the biggest change is not technology, is getting people to accept that there's a different way to do things.

Big Pussy's death scene in The Sopranos. Hello, hello. I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of Smart Talks with IBM.

I recently spoke with IBM's new director of research, Jake Gambata. We discussed his vision for the future of quantum computing. At IBM research, what we always do is answer what is the future of computing, whether it's coming up with new algorithms, coming up with better AI, coming up with quantum, or coming up with just how do different accelerators go together. It's our DNA to answer the question of what is the future. Isn't it a perfect problem for IBM because you kind of need to have a legacy of building stuff? Yes.

Building actual physical machines. Yeah, it's why I came to IBM. I wanted the experience, the culture of building hard things that others have not done before. Where do you imagine we are in the timeline of this technology? There will come a point when it will mature. Right? Yeah. My cell phone is a mature technology at this point.

How far are we from that point with Kondo? By 2029, we'll build the first fault-tolerant quantum computer. That is one that can run a very, very large. large problem.
