Hey, everybody, welcome back to the Snark Tank podcast.
Welcome, welcome one and all.
We are in the mid, we're in the middle of December as we are recording this.
We're equidistant, basically, from all the holidays in the beginning of December.
We're smack dab in the middle.
We're going to try and get to as many of your questions as possible.
Remember, you can ask your questions over at patreon.com slash a snark.
tank.
Check out the tiers over there to see what's going on.
There's some cool extra ammo episodes there.
One that I'm really, really fucking have.
I'm really, I'm so, I'm so pleased with the Gears of War I can't even tell you.
But that's up there.
We just did a Steam, a guest the Steam review game type thing.
We did it once before and people seem to like it.
So we did it again, ran out the year.
A bunch of other stuff like that.
So pop on over there.
I don't normally do the housekeeping this this quick, but I always forget.
So I got to do it.
That's fair.
Yeah, I guess...
It's time to begin, isn't it?
I guess we'll focus on questions because I don't really know much that's...
I don't know.
Stuff has been happening, but, like, I don't know enough about any of it at all.
Like, I have no idea.
I know there's some stuff with the completionist.
I know that Twitch rolled back their nudity policies or whatever the fuck after, like, less than a day.
after less than a fucking day.
They rolled it back already?
Oh, you didn't know?
What happened?
Did someone wall out immediately?
Well, everybody was just like,
too many people.
Yeah, everyone.
Straight up naked?
Like, straight up naked?
Well, no.
Everyone was just pushing the boundaries.
People were theory crafting, essentially.
And they were like, oh, let's, uh, this wasn't a good idea.
But that sucks.
I think that would have been a pretty cool idea of people that do not safe for work art
and stuff like that.
Look, man, it would have been totally normal if they would have did it outside of a meta.
If they just made an announcement like, hey, we're going to let this happen.
People were so hopped up, especially with the new, what, the artistic nudity meta?
You know, like, they were like people now really wanted to get in on it and go hard on the pain.
I mean, hell, I don't stream anymore.
And I even thought, like, what can I do?
like I was thinking like oh I can do male camel toe streams or something
this is this piece it's insane is it like there's like people that were just like trying to do it
like oh I can like make some cool stuff I can do some cool things I can like draw
you know like some rather suggestive things you know they make money off of it
and then there's like motherfuckers like you that are just like oh how can I make this company regret their
decision yeah not even like how can I do something fun
how could I just ruin this how could I make Twitch upset for saying yes to me
I was just like only fans light, you know, like just give people a taste where I got like,
I got some UFC shorts or some bicycle shorts.
And then, you know, you just kind of just get a little, you know, you get the half chode going on or whatever.
Yeah.
You get that little chub going on.
You guys are despicable, man.
What are you talking about?
If you, if you were.
Frame one, dude.
You just like, let's do it.
I'm done.
I got, I got, I did.
Like, that is.
I didn't do anything.
Why didn't do you guys?
I didn't do shit.
No, I'm talking about Derek's ilk.
Yeah.
That's true.
I mean, but like, how would you, why wouldn't, it's like, if they were asking for it at this point, because all it was, in my opinion, all it is is just protecting these booby streamers, right?
They've proven time and time again that that is their top priority as far as like, who to protect?
Like, who to protect?
It's like, oh, it's not an all-encompassing thing.
Like, let's make guidelines that protect X, Y, Z.
It's just whatever.
Let's just make sure that these people can keep doing things
and then possibly they'll keep sliding in our DMs
and we'll keep getting to have sex with them.
Because, I mean, I've even heard stories on Instagram.
I think it's a money thing.
I think it's a money thing primarily.
I think it's like, dude, they bring up so much money.
I mean, it's always a money thing primarily.
For sure, it's a money thing.
No get me wrong.
It's definitely a money thing.
But it is, it is, it is, I'm waiting for all of the
booby streamers because there's been a handful of
women that have talked about hooking up with
you know important people
in Twitch or Instagram or
how to you know like how to game how to basically
get above the it's like you remember how
I'm sorry to even say this but you remember
how fucking Gamergate started
I can't even brought that up it's it's
I said I already apologize
I already apologize but I'm just saying
you remember how it started in
the same way where you just have
there's some people
who will get a leg up by fucking everybody
you know it's uh
it's smart there's no reason not to
it kind of is smart i mean if you
if you can get away with it
i mean if they if they want
especially now that aids isn't a problem
at all
it's just like go to the fucking like
I mean you just go is there any
STI that is like protection doesn't protect
protection from AIDS really
is there any STI well it definitely will dramatically
reduce the chances of transmitting it
yeah that's like how you stop it
like how you reduce is not a hundred percent
it's like masks it's like masks with COVID I mean like it might
it will probably maybe a little bit but it's like an eradicate
I will say because assuming it doesn't rip
if if if if if masks don't rip off them
if mask were latex like a
okay okay we'd be breathing
anything like frogs, like with a mask, you'd be like,
like suffocating.
So like, you know,
I've had, they protect a lot more than a mask, too.
I'm just saying, man.
Yes, 100%.
I've had, I have,
unironically,
dude,
I'm not even joking.
I've had at least like seven different experiences where the condom has straight
up ripped.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Actually straight up.
You know what it sounds?
I'm not doing the fucking anything.
I'm not doing anything wrong.
They just fucking suck.
I think we're learning some information about you,
I think we're learning some actually some good information about you
that.
You're possibly well-endowed and you're using small condoms.
That's what it sounds like.
I'm using the cheapest ones.
Well, that has to be what it is.
Chris, condoms don't break often, dude.
Like, they really don't.
I really can.
I can probably count on my hand.
Well, Kingston, often is not, often is not seven times.
Often, like, over the course of the number of condoms that I've used, it's not often,
but it's enough for me to be like
That's, I've, you're up there
We're like, that's a lot
So this guy has, well, so it doesn't
It could mean just like you've been with Lily for a long time
That would mean you, your, your sex count
Should be high.
Yes.
Yeah, I understand that, right?
I've used, I've used many a condom in my day
But particularly before I go to the person I am with now.
I have broken maybe two condoms
and that's because one of the times
I thought I should put two on
because I got scared and it broke
because I had two on.
Didn't you learn it sex ed?
That's like the worst thing you could do.
I learned that it's sex ed,
but I was like it can't be that bad.
You're like nah, fuck the man.
It was like it was a little bit of space.
I was like maybe if I like really, you know,
hunker down.
It's so stupid.
It's really stupid.
Spirmicidal condoms.
There's like there's other things that could be done.
me
condoms are fucking
well
well something that I was
something that I was actually
so hold on something that I was actually curious
There are people that jack off of condoms dude
That's weird
That's weird that's weird that's weird that's weird that's weird
That's like I have a
So about this like nudity thing
This artistic nudity I was actually curious because like Derek like dude
Could you have just screamed all of your
your like nude modded
Resident Evil gameplay under that
banner?
You probably could have done that
Oh my God, I could have.
You're right.
No, you're right.
Because that would probably be buying me back to Twitch.
That would have brought me back to Twitch.
It didn't, I didn't even cross my mind because that is it literally I want to, I would love to stream this shit because it is, I know there would be a bunch of horny people watching, but it to me, it's just funny.
So I would love to just, man, now I'm actually kind of disappointed.
That's funny.
Doesn't that?
suck you just changed my entire perspective
you could have played a
balder's gate with like just you know complete
all the all the nude mods or whatever
all the swinging dicks dude like fuck
the only all it also known as the
only reason to play it
yeah it is the only
way I'm man dude
some of the other
the encounters that I'm discovering or
there's there are some wild
sexual encounters in that game
like like some of them are just like
yeah some of them just like they
put so much time
into this fucking sequence.
That's what that's what 80s
Boulders gateway. It'd be a bunch of these fucking, like,
these fucking neck beard guys,
back when only nerds played it. And they'd be like,
yo, I want to fuck that dragon.
And the DM is like, are you sure?
And it's like, yeah, I want to fuck that dragon.
And he's like, all right, bro, roll.
And no, if I get the 20.
And he's like, well, I guess he's fucking a dragon.
So you approach the dragon in a very central manner.
and is really feeling your vibe.
The dragon takes out its big, scaly penis,
and just starts rubbing it against her forehead.
And it's like, he's got to do it.
Because that's the game, you know?
I like it takes the penis out, even though he's a dragon.
It's hidden when they're not in sex mode.
When there's sex mode like a latch opens, like,
a latch open.
The dragon latch.
It's like how like, you know how like Beatles have the,
like, the casing over their wings?
The carapist, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
But in that fly mode.
Yeah.
That's awesome.
I don't know.
Yeah, man, I've been playing a little bit.
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?
My cell phone is a mature technology at this point.
How far are we from that point with Conton?
By 2029, we'll build the first fault-tolerant quantum computer.
That is one that can run a very, very large, large problem.

I've been playing a little bit and it's, uh, I just, I just do not understand how you
have any combat encounter in this game without either getting completely wiped or just
being overencumbered by like 50 different mobs with like a bizarre attack pattern where they
can shoot crossbows at you three times in a row for each individual.
turn and you're just like, okay.
I don't, I'm, I actually
dislike it more the more I play it, so I think I have to stop.
I think I have to stop. I've given it enough. I've given it like 25.
It's simply not for you. 25 hours.
I put into it and I'm just like, I like, I like the story here, but like I can't,
I cannot do this. Watch the story beats.
Well, look, no, I already, I gave you to the suggestion that if you, if you, if you,
if you want to play strictly for the story, just like, do you remember that there was a whole,
there was a whole argument of we, of course, you got,
remember that there was the whole argument about people wanting to experience everything that
has to do with from software games so they would like for there to be something.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Different modes like easy story mode or some shit like that.
And of course, the fans completely reject that.
And I was, you know, obviously I don't, I don't, I was indifferent because obviously
if it was there, I wouldn't play it.
So it didn't matter to me.
But I always feel like more options.
there's always a better idea, in my opinion, because it wouldn't, it wouldn't fuck with my
gameplay at all.
It wouldn't do anything to me, and that's what actually matters.
Like, say, I don't, like say, I don't feel, I don't feel any sort of way about God of
war having so many different options of difficulties.
I feel nothing about it.
I play what I play, and you play what you play.
So, as far as, like, say, Baldersgate goes, for example, if somebody wanted to experience
the story, I feel like.
like, and then you have a PC, why not throw some fucking trainers on there?
Two, if the combat is that like, ugh to you, why not have, because to me, it is hilarious
if you just put, if you have an infinite amount of fucking just, if you can just go and your
turn meter never depletes, it can be really fucking funny.
Yeah, yeah, I bet.
You can, you can, you can, you can, I've thrown, like, I just fucking around.
I was just throwing everyone
Just
Just having fun
Throwing everybody
And then
Killing a boss by throwing him to death
You know because I didn't have
It was just
Just fucking around
And those are things that I even thought
About streaming
Because that's fun to me
But long story short
Yeah
I feel like if you wanted to like
Why not?
Maybe I'll fuck around with that
Maybe I'll fuck around with that
It's just like
I'll find myself in the beginning area
I'm in the beginning area
Dude
I'm in the beginning area
And then there's these fucking
Knowles or whatever the fuck
And
That's a lot of that's
a hard fight. That is a hard really fight if you're not like level four at least.
It's, but it's not even just a hard normal, because I'm just like, I'm already decided like,
all right, I'm playing this for the story. I'm on the difficulty is like the lowest it could
possibly be, right? There's no, there's nothing. There's no reason why this shouldn't be like
an easy trounce at the very least, but it's fucking insane. And it's not like impossible,
but it's so tedious where I'm like, oh my God. That's CRPGs though. That is CRPGs.
them 15 minutes to go.
And I have to watch.
I wish I could at least skip their turn at the very least.
Like press Y for their turn.
Jesus.
Like at the very least let me do that.
I could skip.
I don't know.
Let me sell this for you a little bit more.
Manipulating the game speed.
Sometimes in large battles, absolutely.
Because you know what it also does?
Because I like being, like right now in my dark urge,
I'm a giant muscle mommy.
Right?
She just all fucking giant naked running around and shit.
but the fucking giants are so goddamn slow.
They are so slow.
It's annoying.
So you can obviously switch between party members
and use somebody who's faster to travel,
until you know,
to diverse,
but I want to be the muscle mommy.
I want her to be leading the charge.
So I just mini-to-rescime to 1.5,
and it feels perfect when I'm traveling.
And then sometimes in giant battles,
I'll put it up to like 1.7
and motherfuckers are flying.
So like I'm waiting for like,
an entire fucking, you know, like,
I'm waiting for like fucking 15 people to do shit.
And so it's just flying through it.
And I was like, this is awesome.
This is like, man, I guess.
This is like, it's like, I, I rarely really have games where I like,
unless a game is bad, I'm very rarely turned off by it.
But I guess just, I don't, I don't know.
Boulder is just like such a,
I feel like everyone should experience those characters.
I'm,
And I play D&D, but like, there's very rarely game I can play.
Oh, this game play is not like me.
Like, I don't play Pokemon because the gameplay hasn't changed at all.
But still, like, I can understand how to play Pokemon.
But I'm also, I just, real quick, I just, I'm speaking of someone who's done multiple
playthrus though.
So like, the things that I'm telling you are things that like, because I feel, I feel like there's
some things that I feel like some people want, I use from software games as an example.
I feel like there's some things that people really want to experience.
like even like the transformation of bosses and things
that some people can just never experience unless they just watch a video
but some people just want to kind of be in it
they want to do it and I feel like well
the developers made the game that the way they want to make it
so if you want to play a different way
hopefully you have a PC and then you can intervene
you can do things that will help you play your way
because there are some moments in the game that are like
like I particularly think like
the end of act two is so cool

I think that's such a fucking cool part of a video game.
At what level do you...
I think you should experience that.
At what level are you even remotely competent in combat?
Like, at what point do you not get trounced?
Three for me.
I don't know, I'm three and those...
I'm three and those knolls are fucking absolutely raping me, and I don't understand.
Well, what are...
I can't fathom it.
Do you have any...
What's a group?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I'm a fucking...
What is it?
Oh, my God.
I don't remember.
I'm swapping them out.
constantly. Because you're a barbarian, you should be fine with the nose, by yours.
Like, not by yourself.
I agree.
Run it by yourself.
Yeah, I agree.
But you should be able to run in there and, like, tank a lot of the damage and it's to get healed by Shadowheart from a distance.
I should.
Yeah.
I should.
I agree.
I agree with that.
I agree with that entirely.
But I do, my damage is fine.
But then, like, Shadowheart's healing is fucking garbage.
And then, I don't know.
I can't.
I can't.
I can't.
I kind of hate these characters because the,
combat is, it's actually affecting how I see the characters
because like I just think of them as weak pieces of shit.
I don't know.
And I, I can't like them.
I understand what you're saying.
That's interesting. It's interesting.
But the combat is so like, I guess, it has to be, I've played D&D.
It has to be.
Well, you're a D&D guy, yeah, right?
Because it's not, because I, I need to stress.
It's so simple.
It's, but no, because it's not, it's not, it's not about simplicity.
It's about the fact that, like, it's turn base, but it's also D&D rules.
So there are these, like, advantages and, like, weird.
like orderings.
It's not like a tactics game.
Like it's not.
It's not straight out.
It's not a streamlined tactics game, but it's a tactics game.
Well, it's a, no, it's a CRPG.
It's not a tactics game.
There's a tactics.
It'd be like saying a portal is a first person shooter.
Technically, I guess, but it's not, you know what,
you know that it's not a shooter.
It's not.
In the same way that this is not really, it's not really a tactics game in the same
way.
It's a CRPG where you could do a lot of shit.
But like, I don't know, something like, something like XCOM or something makes a,
infinitely more sense to me because there's like a set order or there's like a set turn or there's like a set wave or there's like a set rule to like how the encounters is supposed to go but with this one it's like and it's the same problem I had earlier on where it's like okay I can go and then 15 knolls go and then the rest of my party goes and it's like well why did the 15 knolls get to go before the other people in my party
I also that aspect of the game as well how do they're so oh you have to do is so many things just go to withers and be like hey I want everyone to have high dexterity
and then everyone move
for everybody else says
Yes
The fuck is Withers
The old
The ancient guy from the
Did you go into the tomb
Did you go into like the big
Like the lot of the fucking
The what is it
The the
The fucking
Draugger looking guy
Yeah
I just was quick little
Your order
Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait
Wait wait wait wait
Your order is determined
By dexterity
Yes
Okay
All right
What else would
What else would dick
that. I mean, I don't think,
I just think the rules of the game would dictate
that. I don't, I don't even think that, I didn't even think that would even think that
would, like, why would how nimble I am with a pen
decide, like, what order I go in combat? Like, it's insane.
Because of how, how nimble you are with your, how quickly you get your body
act? You know what I think, you know what? I think a problem is
where, um, there's a lot of RPG games that actually just have,
they just have speed. There's a lot of, there's a lot of games. So it's more obvious to them.
I think, I think that's just like, there,
it's more obvious to people that, like, play things that actually shows speed,
and there's also, like, say, different armor sets that will actually gain speed.
Now, I know there's a lot of games that don't have it where it will fall to their dexterity,
sometimes even Constitution, which is weird, but...
I think it's just simply one, you don't play RPGs, and then two, you don't know Dundas and Dragons.
Well, I don't play D&D for sure.
I play RPGs.
I just don't play D&D RPGs.
If you're playing RPGs, you understand the read what each stat doesn't.
immediately if you've never played an RPG.
And you'll be like, oh, this does this, this does this.
No, because dexterity doesn't.
Say, for example, in, um,
Dexterity is not a common indicator of when you can go.
Dexterity does not affect your speed.
It affects your,
your ability to control your body.
Like how good you are with like range weapons.
Right.
Certain types of weapons and stuff like that,
but it doesn't make you go faster, right?
Yeah, right.
Like, but you, like, for instance.
Yeah, go ahead.
Like, I played Dragons Dogma.
I first, I just started playing Dragons Dogma a little while ago, right?
The first thing I did was,
I hovered over every stat and it's like this that does or even the soul's games obviously check the
games you go there this that does heavy weapons dexterity how many inferiorly frames you have
x y z it's like this stuff like that where you're like I don't know what the fuck's or if or if I didn't
know what I was doing in something my instinct would be why the fuck am I not able to x y and z that'd be
like my means of like that's how I approach a problem yeah and I and I and I google the shit and
I look it up and it's all like it kind of reminds me of
it kind of reminds me of those point and click games
from like a long time ago where it's like oh to get past this section
you have to click the you have to dip the key in peanut butter
and then twist it on the clock and then that opens the door in the other room
it's like it's like holy shit what is this reasoning
like why would dexterity determine like what order you go in comment that is so
alien to me like that's made so much sense to me but I guess not
compute like with the definition of what dexterity means in most games
and what it even just does
By definition it makes sense
But no
No it doesn't. I wouldn't even say
I wouldn't even say I wouldn't even say
By process of elimination
What the stats that you are left with
Which one do you think would
Would determine your speed?
As far as just looking at the stats
Like my assumption
My assumption initially was
My assumption initially was that it was just based on level or something
Or some like weird invisible stat that I couldn't see
They're like oh they could go before my other guys
because they're like stronger or something.
And that's why they get to go.
And it's like that's a weird disadvantage
to put the player out of it.
Dice deities,
Oxford definition literally is readiness and grace
in physical ability.
Yeah, readiness is not...
No, but readiness does not imply
that you go first.
It just implies that you're ready to move first.
But who isn't?
But like that's what...
But it doesn't...
Whatever is the person that has the most nimble body
is going to be able to...
Like, let's say like,
someone breaks into a room, right?
Most tactics games that I've ever...
It's arbitrary.
Very arbitrary, nonetheless.
I'll admit that.
No, but that's not the conversation
what I'm saying is most games
that operate under this framework
do not have this.
They just don't.
Straight up.
No, they have a speed stat proper.
They have a speed stat.
They have a speed stat.
Or it's just straight up,
okay, you go, they go,
you go, they go, they go,
because that's what a turn-based game is.
You know what I mean?
Like, they're not,
they don't have this extra advantage.
Most games that I've ever played,
absolutely do.
not really a lot of times they'll have it if it's not if it's not actually a stat that's controllable
it's usually people that have to go through the code and see the stats themselves that the
games depending on your level have fixed levels of speed and everything else so like as you
traverse different sections in the game even in games like xcom like there's a stat for whoever
is going to move the quickest and what or the role they play to move the quickest and then like
and that's fine except that's fine except that's fine except
That's fine except it's usually
The balance isn't as
It's not four guys versus 50 knolls
Or 48 goblins
You know like it's not
It's something of it feels fucking insane
Like and especially just because it's so damn slow
Like I just can't I fucking I can't do it
I'm glad it's doing well
I'm glad it's game of the year
I'm glad I'm glad they're fucking set
But like I don't know
I'm gonna have to mod the shit out of it
Or just watch another play through while I play something else
because that's the kind of the thing too
where it's like I could experience
I was at least watch the play through
because I could play the story
but then part of me is like modding fun
because if you're playing for the story
you want to make your own choices
and so I feel like that's kind of like
so you're not going to get all right
and figure everything out
like modding is so for me to
get as many because there's so many
different directions of going
and why I want to do so many things
why I put the speed up to 1.4, 1.5
is because you realize
when you've done
like all everything before
there's so much
You can skip now.
So I want to get to point A to point B as fast as possible so I can get a specific outcome that I'm looking for.
So that's why I want to speed this shit the fuck up because although I'm cutting out hours that would normally just take me fucking walking.
Me just fighting because I've done it.
I've done it.
I've done it.
So now I'm trying to affect like I want to get to I haven't used like say I haven't traveled with a specific companion.
and now I want to hurry up and get to this place to where there are people that you meet in the third act.
So I'm like fucking trying to hurry up and like I want to do something different with them.
You get you get you get two companions or do you get pain and third act.
You get one.
One, I think just one actually.
You get two in the second act.
You get one in third act, right?
Yeah.
You get, uh, yeah, I think that's correct.
And so it's, there's things that I want to do.
So I'm just trying to like now obviously, um, if you're going to play, if you want to play the same thing, you can just have.
save points and then start from there
where it's like, okay, I want to experience it different from here,
so I'm making sure I save so then I can do two different things
so you can cut out a lot of shit and not start all over.
But yeah, man, but look, just to, I completely
understand what Chris is saying, though.
Even though, like, I, it's, I definitely,
I understood it.
I look things up so then I understand it, but
there is a stream, the streamline
fucking, like, traditional term-based RPG,
it will always be my favorite.
It is exactly why, like,
a game like Rage Shadow Legends
even interested me at all
when I started playing it and started reading
the stuff and looking into it and I was like
oh whoever's actually making
this shit understands
and it's like it's even
what can be it means even in Rage Shadow Legends
there are stats for things
so nobody's saying there aren't stats for things
they're very um
they're very they're very
they're not streamlined they're just very
understandable they're easily consumable
it's right there in your face where
It's just you have your attack defense, speed,
you have your crit rate, crit damage,
you have your resistance,
and you have your accuracy.
And so it's like,
everybody understands all those stats.
And then there's way more other things on top of that.
I think it's the fact that it's D&D as well.
So if like,
it's an RPG and then if it's D&D and people are like,
I don't know how to fuck to play D&D.
Opposed to me,
I was like, oh, this is all,
I know all these numbers and values.
I know what does what.
I know what your ability goes where.
I know what the class is going to get.
So I have,
I just have four knowledge with it.
Because every,
The only encounter in that whole game that I say is like for real hard.
There's Shadow Hearts final encounter is a hard encounter.
That's just a lot of motherfuckers using a lot of shit on you.
And then obviously Raphael.
Those are the only two encounters that I'm like, this is for real difficult.
I played it on tactician.
I didn't play it on the honor mode.
Honor mode is stupid.
I played on tactician mode.
And I got through everything pretty simply.
But it's like, I know the game.
Yeah, yeah.
That's a thing.
It's not very hard.
knowing the game and let's be honest some people don't want to take the time to to know a whole game
yeah which i actually understand that to like where i'm like damn do i really want to spend all this
time to get into all this and when i'm not even that you know it's just it feels like such a commitment
i understand that i don't i don't live by that mentality but i do understand yeah the reason i'm
trying to figure out a lot of this stuff now is because next year is pretty dry for me like
there's there's really nothing next year that i see of any
I guess Final Fantasy 7
Integrate is coming out
or not Integrate
fucking what is it
Rebirth the sequel
The second part of the other part
of seven remake is coming out
And that's probably the only thing
That I can see
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.

Being on the horizon at all.
So I'm like,
I'm using this time to catch up on shit that I missed.
I care about that.
And I get,
I keep hearing of Wolverine might be coming out.
I don't know if I believe that.
Wolverine's not coming out next year.
Yeah, we'll see.
And we might be getting a trailer for dread wolf.
Yeah.
I think so that goes.
I think they didn't get out because of Balders get coming out.
They're like, nah.
They're like,
maybe not.
Bro, I think we're barely getting a trailer.
I don't even think.
I think it'll probably,
I think it'll probably come out in 26.
No, no, that's not fair.
That's not fair.
25.
25.
I would say 25, not 26.
It's like kind of crazy.
That sucks for that.
I'll be so sad.
That starts for them,
though.
Because it's done.
It's done.
It's over.
It's over and I'm going to cry.
But see,
what's cool about Balders Gay doing so insanely well is that there is a complete blueprint
of like,
okay,
if we don't meet these standards,
like,
And here's the thing.
The story of Dragon Age.
You know what company's making that gate?
Wait, Derek, I understand what you're saying, right?
Derek, I understand the words you're using.
But what company is making Dreadwolf right now?
Okay, so here's the thing.
So.
You just said standards involving EA.
That's crazy.
It's crazy.
Here's the thing.
They've failed so many times.
They're taking so long making this.
They have to get this right this time.
They've taken too many else.
I feel like this time, because let's remember, even when BioWare, even when EA was partnered with BioWare, Mass Effect 2 was a massive success.
It's not like it's completely just EA's, they're fucked completely.
As much as a lot of people did criticize Dragon H2, there's a lot of people that look back on it and they said I still had fun with that game.
You know, it just felt.
I love Dragon H2, right?
I love Dragon H2, right?
It's pretty fun.
I like the characters.
It's a good game.
That's really what drives it.
The characters are fucking awesome.
But what happened is this, right?
In Dragon Age 2, that was made by BioWare, right?
No, EA was definitely involved, though.
Yeah, no, under E.A.
That was made by, but the team that made it is gone.
That whole team is gone.
You say everybody's gone.
None of, they're all like saving lives or like innovating scientifically.
They're all gone now.
What about, okay, well, okay, okay, so what about having?
I don't believe, I can be wrong, I can be wrong, but I don't believe anyone is still there.
I can't confirm that or whatever.
It's just all I know is that Inquisition,
even though I, look,
here's the weird thing about Inquisition.
I like the game.
People who are fans of Dragon Age,
as far as I'm concerned,
I've seen them like the game.
I've seen other people for whatever reason
criticized it because it started off
as it was going to be like a,
you know, online service
and then they switched it up.
But it's noticeable, but not really.
It's noticeable where you see
the elements of the game where it's like, oh, this would have been like an online service,
but they fixed it enough to where it just turned into a full-blown game.
It could have been a massive disaster.
There was really only a handful of bugs, which I was shocked, because they talked about
how much of a disaster was working with Frostbite.
And I enjoyed the game to the point where I played it maybe two or three times campaigns,
and I really, there was only a handful of things I didn't like as a Dragon Age fan.
But overall, I was really okay with the game.
the game. Like, I enjoyed it.
Now that Balders Gate 3 came out, it's like, oh shit.
But having that fucking, having that blueprint, I actually feel like this is going to make
the game better. I really think that, like, say, if Balders Gate 3 for whatever reason didn't
come out, they probably could have just been like, this is just, this is good enough.
Now it's like, I don't think they can do it. I think they can't afford to just be like,
the characters are there. The characters are already there. Dragon Age has some.
of my favorite characters in any RPG.
I really like them.
So they already have that going for them.
I think you sound like a Call of Duty fan.
What?
After Titan Fall 2 came out.
And you were like,
they have the potential to make a great Call of Duty game.
They have it all right there.
Call of Duty.
They made Call of Duty.
They made ColoDuty.
No, no, no.
Because Titanfall came out and had a lot of innovative ideas
and really cool ideas for the video game
and futuristic combat
in a shooting game, right?
There are a lot of really cool ideas
that Calduty could have used.
Yeah, it could have been like,
oh, that can be a withstand in a game.
No, no, no, but it's a,
that's a bad comparison, though,
because Call Duty
consistent, like, make so much
fucking money that they don't have to.
Like, they don't,
like, it would be the reverse,
it would be the reverse situation.
I'm, I'm, I'm in reference
to the idea of the quality of the game,
not so much the need,
the need to do it, right?
Well, that's what I mean.
It's not, it's not, it's not,
put it this way.
If Titanfall 2 was objectively the game of the year that year, and it sold, like, it was all anybody was talking about, and everybody unanimously agreed, this is where first-person shooter should go, and it was, like, it sold, like, it's sold, like, twice as much as any call duty game it ever sold, then they would be like, yeah, we got to, we got to look into it, in the same way that, in the same way that Dragon Age would have to look to Baldur's Gay. That would be a comparable situation, I guess, although it's not annualized, so it's still not exactly the same.
Dude, it's, but, come on, it's make or break.
We know it's make a break.
Oh, we know it's make a break.
So with that being said, it would be, now I know, because it's EA, I get it.
Don't, don't, don't, I'm not like, I'm not dismissing that it's EA.
But I feel like even EA, they're like, oh, we have to turn a profit with this.
So we, this has to be nailed.
Look, man.
I actually, I look, I look at.
I don't even think EA, EA used to be like a lot worse than it.
Like, I actually don't think EA is even remotely as bad as,
I don't know, EA's pretty good these days
in comparison to most, like, Ubisoft is on fire.
Ubisoft hasn't posted, hasn't made anything of note in fucking ages.
Activision is constantly on fire.
Activision.
Activision is a mess.
EA's actually, I don't know, man, like, they put out, like, they're not the worst one anymore.
There's not the worst.
I think they're probably of the, of those, they're probably, they're kind of the better one.
They're kind of the better ones, really.
I don't know of a big...
They put out Dead Space again, so that's like...
Cool.
Dead Space Remake is...
That was great.
It Space Remake is fucking superb.
They did It Takes 2, which was like super weird of them to do.
And It Takes 2 was fucking incredible.
Star Wars Jedi Survivor and Fall in Order were great.
You know, Wild Hearts was actually pretty good too,
although that's like a kind of a double A game that was like a little bit more...
Like casual monster hunter type stuff.
And they have their sports stuff, which, you know, is...
You know, I don't really give a shit about that at all.
But...
The Cash Cow...
That,
who,
yeah,
yeah.
Yeah,
that's the entire thing.
Haven't changed
in the last 10 years,
but I'm saying,
but I'm saying,
but I'm saying,
but I'm saying,
when you compare it,
you'll be buying like wildfire,
bro.
You're right.
But when you,
but when you compare it to like,
I don't know,
like Activision,
who's like,
you know,
like Overwatch is fucked.
Uh,
call duty is fucked right now,
even though it's like
the biggest game
gaming property in the world still,
uh,
you know,
everything that Blizzard is working on is completely on fire.
I mean,
the company sucks,
although they drop the whole story mode thing,
I guess.
That's a problem.
Chris,
you're actually completely right about that
where the stink of all of the shit
that was happening before,
we kind of forget that.
They've been consistently okay.
That they haven't done any,
they haven't done anything to warrant
worst company of the year
like they were consistently getting.
Anthem,
which is no,
no,
look,
Anthem was bad.
Anthem was fucking terrible.
right. And I think that might have been
the straw that broke the camel's back.
Yeah, but even dude, even the
leaks that came out of that was like,
that wasn't even EA doing that.
EA wasn't, the EA wasn't coming to them being like,
yo, you got to make a live service game.
Like, BioWare for some reason got it in their heads
that they wanted to do that.
And then EA was like, well, I mean,
if you want to do this, go ahead and do it.
And then they completely fucked it up.
So like, even the worst thing.
Yeah, there was that big expose on Anthem,
how like they didn't even know what game they were made like the entire time i remember that i remember
that but i didn't know that they made the choice i always thought they did that i didn't know that
no they they they but i don't think they kind of confuses that is my biggest fear though that's
what the fear comes from oh jesus christ that made those games is just not present that's what
confuses me you're right they're just not there like the people that made the people that made the
lore about Dreadwolf, the people that know
the story of the game, the people that
created that world,
they're gone. They've been
gone for like 10 plus
years. They've been not around.
That's why even Inquisition's so different.
Because Inquisition, Inquisition
picks up not even directly
after one. You don't even see your gray ward, not after two, so I don't
even see a gray warden. I'm gonna fucking
off doing, you get a letter from the nigga. I'm like, why
are you talking? What? I want my character.
Oh, my character.
So, okay, so that, that was very disappointing, but you're, look, I would have loved if they would have just even DLCed that shit.
Just show me the character, bro.
They brought in Hawk.
They brought in Hawk, which was directly from, and you actually did shit with him.
So it was like, even though I didn't give a, I don't give a flying fuck about Hawk at all.
Even though, like, I enjoyed, number two, I didn't give a fuck about the protagonist.
I cared about everybody else that was around the fucking slut elf that you get to bang that poor wood elf.
And then you could choose the killer or not and have the little demon baby.
No, I bang the shit ever.
That's cool.
Of course.
Of course.
For the culture.
Yeah.
But yeah.
I don't know.
People, I guess people felt, well, go ahead.
No, no, I was just saying.
Like I, let's say, so let's say it is slated for 2025, right?
To give them time.
that's going to be a rough year too
that's going to be a really rough year
for them
because like are we pretending
are we pretending like we don't know
what the game of the year for
2025 is going to be?
Yeah.
Pretending?
Like are we pretending
not released that game that year.
They should not release that game that year.
They can't hold on to it forever.
Like they can't hold on to it forever.
Well,
they got to be 25.
They got to either do it next year
or they got to be 226.
Obviously, GTA6 is
Oh yeah, yeah, never mind, yeah, no matter what, no matter
Yeah, I'm not a DTA person crazy like that
But like, yeah, it's gonna be GTA six, no matter what, yeah
So how sick would it be if they did it, Mortal Kombat style?
Were, say, Mortal Kombat somehow
So how do the fuck, how does fucking Mortal Kombat able to keep secrets
But fucking Rockstar can't?
What's going on with that?
Because Mortal Kombat fucking literally was like,
Hey, we have a new game, it's coming on in a few months
And then it just came out and it was like
Yeah, we didn't know.
We were waiting for a long time.
I mean, and we just didn't know.
We were like, I was kind of crazy.
Like, there was none of my, I followed a bunch of Mortal Kombat pages.
And nobody was like, hey, yo, this came out.
But anyway, so it would be awesome.
What if they're trying to fuck with this in that way?
Because they said for, there was like Dragon Age Day, whatever the fuck,
Dragon Age Day was, it just passed like a few weeks ago.
And they said, we're going to see some shit next year.
So what if they do the same thing?
That would be awesome if they were like, hey, we're actually fucking, like, done with this shit.
we're just polishing it up and it's going to drop in like November.
I don't trust it, but at the same time
they got it, they can't fucking drop in 2025.
That's going to be a fucking.
That's not good idea.
They're in a rough spot.
They have to basically,
they have to go this,
they have to go 2024 basically.
Like that's the only,
because right now the competition is like,
I mean, I guess they don't have to because like who cares.
Like who cares about wins game the year.
Really, ultimately as long as they make money,
it doesn't really matter.
They could go in 2025 if they want.
It's just,
You know, I, that, that game is, GTA 5 is going to be such a, or GTA 6, I keep
want to say GTA 5 because it's insane to me that we're already at 6, but like, I've done
that too.
It's going to be such a juggernaut and it's going to be so transformative to like the landscape
that like I don't know how anything is going to come out of that.
I don't know how any game is really going to stick around in the conversation after that,
like during that year.
Unless it's like Eldon Ring 2 or something or.
or something substantial like that.
Like, I don't know.
And even that, like, I think we would have a hard time.
There's only the only thing that I feel like
would be more celebrated.
Not more.
That's the wrong words.
Maybe on a similar playing field is if they announced
Bloodborn for PC.
Because that would be...
Maybe, yeah.
The one thing that niggas, like,
it's trending like every fucking month.
Like, people are just like, hey,
hey, how about just do it already?
Like, fuck.
I'm actually in that camp.
I really want Bloodborn on fucking PC.
The fact that, like, like, I don't even, I feel like that made people happy,
but it wouldn't do what GTA6 is going to do to the gaming world.
No, no, no, no.
I'm not saying.
What I'm saying is, I'm talking about excitement.
I'm not talking about fucking, like, some type of, like, oh, this is.
It's like, GTA6, like, you know, it's great.
I think it would have beat Eldon Ring this year if it would came out.
I think, I think what to build Eldon Ring that year.
I think it would be able to beat Baldur's game.
GTA is so well loved.

Because any, any mouth breather can pick that game up and have fun. Like that is just like,
it's a game anyone can really play. As long as you're like on an adult, I guess, you can play like,
Girls love just driving cars and hitting people.
Guys is like shooting stuff.
I like just driving down long strips of areas as fast as I can from cops.
Like even, like I'm not even a GTA person.
Like I really think GTA games are kind of hollow to a degree.
Granted, I've only beat like three of them.
I've only beat like Vice City, Four, and Sen.
No, I'll be five of them then.
I guess I'd be Vice City, San Andreas, four, and five.
even in the moments
I feel like
it's kind of silly
so the moments of silliness
I kind of like
they subtract me from it
but like everyone
likes those games
like just everyone like those games
the news news
like game news
the fucking
they lick their lips
the idea of anything
of granted of water coming out
you know like so it's just
yeah there's something
I was playing
I was playing
I was playing Grand The Theta Theta 4
yesterday
because I'm trying to finish it
I'm trying to make my way
through all the
of Thotho games because I actually never beat
most of them. I played a lot
of them extensively but I never actually like played through
the story of most of them. So I'm trying
to, I'm playing through GTA4
and I remember I just like I did something that I
never did before when I was a kid because I didn't have the
patience for it and I like I hailed a cab
and I sat in there and I
I just let the cab take me to where I was going to go and I didn't
skip at all and it
it was so fun
listening to this rate because it was like
the car driver had to
like on some conservative radio talk show or whatever
and they were just going fucking ballistic
and then you'd see like
these dynamic things happening
like people being robbed on the street and you would see
it just kind of happen as you were passing by and it's like
this is GTA 4 too is like 2008
or something like this is fucking
awesome and the
and just to imagine like
where they're where they would be at now after
Red Dead Red Dead Redemption
really what captures me about it is like dude
the idea
of Red Dead Red Dead Redemption 2 levels of like
thought and polish
going into something
like a modern grader than auto game
is so fucking enticing to me
I can't even
I don't think it fits
but the idea of it fitting in there
would be like this is insane
it's exciting
it's insane
like the idea of having a character
like Arthur Morgan
that you're playing as
as a woman
in Gtie A six
that'd be crazy
I mean it's insane
it's cool
and and I mean
I mean
yeah
but like it's insane
it's gonna be
it's gonna be crazy
that part of the internet
that part of the
internet yeah yeah yeah dude
it's way louder than I it's way more of them
it's way more of them it's way louder than I it's very loud I mean
I was just like bruh bruh remember remember
the the starfield pronoun like that is
the fact like the fact that blew my mind so of course
people like look at the way she shaped Tim pool
oh my did you see it you did you see this the temple thing
what happened I totally forgot I know what you're talking about
but I did that it's already a woman a woman can't run up behind
a guy and knock him out it's like yo you've never been punched him you've never been outside i don't think
it's it's it's you can't possibly believe that that's so i saw that i saw that like tim tim i can get a 13 year
boy to knock you on contest so so look so look look look like i saw that 13 year old to do it to you listen listen
listen listen i saw that and i was immediately overtaken with this intense apathy because there you cannot
like i know tim enough i don't know i don't know i don't know i guess i don't
know modern Tim, but I knew him at one point
enough to know that he's not an idiot.
So he can't possibly believe that.
Like there's no way that you as a thinking human being
believe that there's no way a woman could knock you out.
Like it's just not...
I think people think shit like that
that this have never really been in, like,
never had like physical interaction.
On average, sure, but no, but Tim's...
No, but that's... I agree with what I'm saying.
What would come to Tim.
Yeah, Tim knows better.
Like, Tim knows that that's not true.
Like, he can't possibly believe that that's not true because that would be literally...
But his retarded audience believes it.
Right.
His audience believes that, like, dude, I don't need to tell you that Ronda Rousey would kill Tim Poole.
I don't need, I don't, that doesn't need to be said.
That doesn't need to be said.
Half of Ronda Rousey could kill Tim Poole.
Like, this is not a matter of, like, this is, it's just, you cannot believe.
that. And when I saw that, I was like, oh, he doesn't believe that. This is literally just
the performative bullshit that we've seen for years now, exemplified by the fact that now Twitter
rewards that kind of behavior even more so that it did before. Exactly. Not only attention
money, so it's like, wilder because of that shit. For sure. Yeah, so I just, I don't know, I saw that,
and I was like, this is just too, I couldn't even be upset at it because it was just so clearly
just not just wildly stupid. No, you're right. That's why like the first, insanely dumb.
When I first realized that about him specifically when I saw that compilation around the 2020 election where he kept saying Trump is going to win by 49 or 50 states.
He's going to win by a landslide.
And when he said that so many times, it's like compilations of it.
That's when I was like, oh, I see what he's doing.
Like his audience.
Because the only way you can get away with saying stuff like that is when your audience is so fucking stupid that you can get away with saying stuff with that.
Because if I told that to my audience, they would laugh.
I'd be laughed out of existence because we know that there are states that are always going to be red and blue.
There is never going to be a president that's going to capture all fucking states in the election.
That's just not going to happen.
That is not how it fucking works.
I would say this.
I wouldn't even say it's improbable.
I would say it's impossible because that is how our country works.
So to say that this is highly improper.
No, no, I wouldn't even say in problem.
The thing is the last time anything.
Imagine.
The last time
anything like that happened?
Yeah.
Can you imagine
California, New York turning...
It is not something...
It can't happen.
It would have to be so far in the fucking future
that this landscape doesn't even matter anymore.
I think aliens can make that happen.
We're still talking about wild scenarios,
but we're just talking about in reality.
My point being that like when he speaks like this,
when he speaks like this,
you're like with him saying
women can't do that,
when fucking that movie Atomic Blonde came out,
the same people were saying the same fucking thing,
saying, oh, she couldn't do that.
And I'm like, yeah, because you niggas were saying that shit when fucking, uh,
when fucking Kill Bill came out, right?
Like, shut the fuck up.
Shut the fuck up.
You're just talking shit to get money.
Like, people that are like acting like, oh, that's true.
And I'm like, shut the fuck up.
Why?
God, damn.
Like, I, like, I, dude, have you ever, like, do you, first of all, I think, first of
most, people don't understand how easy it is to knock someone unconscious,
especially if they're not paying attention.
It is not a feat to do that
It doesn't take many pounds of pressure
It doesn't take very many pounds of pressure at all
People move their arms back and hit people and knock them out
Like that happens
Like quickly trying to do something
You hit someone you knock them unconscious
You're like I didn't mean to do that at all
That's what happens
He's called getting hit in the button
Yeah literally right
Shut you off
It didn't register
It sucks though
It does suck that there's enough people that believe
This type of stuff to where he can say this
That's because to me it's like the charlatans and the grifters are always going to exist.
You just wish that the people weren't like, you know, you're the special enough to fall for it.
You just wish that it wasn't like that, but it is.
You know, like, what are you going to do?
You wish, like, everyone would just laugh in unison and be like this, you know, like say there's the story.
And I think it's, I don't know if it's true or not, but people say that the first person in America that introduced insurance got hanged.
now I don't know if that's true or not but I've heard that many of times
that's crazy but you just because it the idea of it sounds so fucking absurd you would
hope that people would do something like that when somebody says like oh women can't
knock out men or some type of shit like that we're like that is that is stupid
like their kids have knocked out adults on accident it's just it's a stupid thing to say
like it just but you know when you're when you're special you can believe anything
You know, they just,
like,
oh,
no,
I'm like,
you're talking like,
when you're special.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
I love you.
Dude,
Barney,
let's,
let's move on to some,
let's move on to some,
yeah,
yeah,
poor Barney,
man.
Yeah,
wait,
which Barney are you talking about?
I love you.
You love me.
I can't do his voice.
Hey,
Homer.
No, no, we can't
You're turning to Belch on
Marges Clit?
No, my God, enough of this.
Oh.
We can't keep.
Somebody brought that up on sacred recently.
Did they?
What?
Yeah, somebody was like, hey,
somebody wrote in privy to this fucking conversation.
I had to explain.
I had to explain this to Colin and Dustin.
And they were fucking bewildered.
Oh, man.
Just can't.
I love the crossover, man.
I'm surprised because the shit that I made, the shit that we do, Mika or Micah is so,
she's just with the shits immediately.
Like whenever I do offensive beam thread, she posts it in it.
I'm like, yo, this is crazy.
That someone has a video.
She posted a picture of Peach, putting her dress over her hard dick and coming through her dress.
Of course.
Coming through it.
Like the dress could stop.
She did that?
She did that?
Is that real?
Swear to God.
Mike did that?
No.
I swear.
That can't.
I showed Lily and Lily started laughing until she cried.
And I was like, where did she find this?
Where do you find that picture?
I mean, that's, she posted that on Twitter?
That's how you do.
She posted it in my, and one of my, what you call it?
To one of my offensive meme threads.
Oh, my God, I see it.
Jesus Christ.
I can't believe.
You got to.
That is.
Put that in the thing that Derek C.
No, I...
Yeah, let me see this.
All right.
Here you go.
Here you go.
I put it in the chat.
I got to check it out for, uh, for, for a secondary purposes.
I mean, I can't believe that.
I can't believe she actually posted that.
I have a thread.
Oh, my God.
Jesus.
I was, I see, I was expecting it to be more ludicrous.
Like, the way that she's drawn is like, this was somebody who like, like, like,
like really liked this.
They were like,
this is,
this is hot.
I think this is hot.
This is a good picture.
When that McDonald's
might be buzzing.
The idea,
dude,
the idea of like,
she has nothing to use.
She's about to come.
She's like,
I just use my dress.
And it's straight through.
That is some power,
man.
That's destroying a uterus.
That's destroying a uterus.
All right.
All right.
Listen, let's get to some questions.
Either that person's pregnant or dead.
The latter.
Oh, man.
All right.
One too many near death experiences.
One too many near death experiences, right?
He says, how do you all?
Are you guys as tired of seeing video game leaks
ruining the launch of trailers in-game skin events as I am?
Seeing GTA get their thunder stolen,
and the same with Fortnite getting that leaked Peter Griffin
and Solid Snake being in the game is so annoying?
You can't seem to have cool surprise anymore.
It's lame.
Hopefully I'm not bringing the mood down,
but I need to bitch about this, thanks.
I don't know.
I agree.
I sort of agree.
I think it's more depressing.
I feel more bad about it from the perspective of the teams.
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 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 Conton?
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, I don't necessarily care that I get shit ruined for me in that sense because
it's not like a real spoiler or anything.
It's not like, you know, it's, I don't know, leaks are kind of exciting in some way, but
it does suck to have like the trailer for your, the trailer for your, the trailer for, the trailer for
grand theft auto to leak is definitely like kind of a bummer in some way because it would have been
cool to have that just fall out of nowhere. But at the same time, these companies kind of tease this stuff
anyway. You know, like we knew that trailer was coming before it got leaked. So I kind of, I don't know
what, I don't know what surprise we're really missing in that sense. If it's, if it ruins a shadow drop of
something, that's more annoying. But for, for Rockstar to be like, hey, early December is when the first
trailer's going live.
And then everybody knows it's going live.
And then it leaks the day before.
That's not really, that doesn't register to me as the same.
Well, it feels like, you know what it's like?
You're probably, imagine you're normally, you know, when you, when you're piping a girl good,
you have an average of like time that you're, you know, then just one day you just fucking,
you cut it really.
It's just, you just bust way too fast.
And it's just kind of underwhelming where it's like, oh, I was expecting the
anticipation of this and all this.
It just feels like you know it's going to come on probably on this specific date and
you kind of like have it.
It's like literally UFC 296 is tomorrow.
I'm fucking like the anticipation is at an all time high.
And if that shit just started like right now, I'd be like, what the fuck?
They'd just be like it's kind of like it feels like I was, it's completely cut off in it.
I had this timeline in my head.
But to your point, I 100% feel bad for the.
devs were because you want them to get that satisfaction of being able to release it exactly when
they want and everything. So it feels bad all around to me. Well, like, I would have felt great
contributing to, I mean, well, I did watch it on, I did watch the Rock Stars trailer of it. I didn't
watch, I didn't see the leak on Twitter X or whatever. Um, so I still did it. But, you know,
it just, it just feels like, God, what a fucking scumbag. Like, why, why, why you got to do that to them,
man like they're gonna yeah it's it's it this is a fucking net positive of fucking a new game that
we're all waiting for like why can't we just celebrate why you gotta be a dick it is it is it is
it is annoying it is it is a it is a that just happened with uh what is it's it's
it's um there were some um screenshots of a wolverine wolverine that leaked um and stuff
like that and it's like i don't know man i i i know what you're saying and i agree it's just
I guess for me, I miss the days when leaks were a little bit more like, is that real?
Because when it's one hour of GT...
Like, I remember last year, an hour of GTA 6 footage leaked.
And it wasn't really...
It was like really, really early, like, in-game stuff.
And it really...
It didn't really give away a whole lot, but it was no question.
It's like, oh, that's...
That's absolutely grant to thought of six.
Like, without a fucking shadow of a doubt.
Like, it's very clearly what this is.
I remember in like 2010 or 2009 Halo Reach had some leaks
and everybody, but it was like some really blurry screenshots of like certain guns
and back then it was like oh, is that real or is it?
And nobody really knew.
And that was actually a lot of fun because then people would be like,
oh, well here's all the reasons why it wouldn't be.
And there was all this theorizing.
But when all that theorizing is kind of gone and it's just like, oh yeah, no, that was
GTA6.
And here's an hour of footage that you can watch.
Also, here's the trailer that's obviously real.
That's lame.
You know, I do miss, like, the benign leaks from, like, a long-ass time ago where it was, like, there was actually some conversation to be had about.
And sometimes those leaks would be fucking completely fake, by the way.
Like, I'm sure, like, just completely, like, oh, that wasn't, that actually wasn't real at all.
And that was kind of fun.
But.
It used to be, I think we've developed this really bad level of entitlement.
Yeah.
Like as a culture where we're like, yeah, we should see it early.
They're taking too long.
It's like, well, dude, anticipation is a good thing sometimes.
You know, patience is a virtue.
Dude, I saw people, I saw people angry.
They were like, oh, man, it got to wait until 2025.
You got to wait until 2025 for this?
It's like, bro, I was surprised it was coming that early.
I thought, yeah, I thought, that billion.
I think there's people, I thought like 208 or something.
I swear to God.
Yeah, me too.
I was like 20, I was like 20, I was like 20, 26, 27, 27.
earliest because the way that I was thinking about it was like
dude we haven't seen this at all
and it's coming out in a year and a half
that's kind of crazy yeah that's like a short
when you think about
especially from seeing that alpha footage
or whatever it was before
right they need a long time to work on this shit
and you also just think about like how early things are
announced now like bro like elder scroll 6 was announced
three years ago and that's nowhere
near out fable was announced
three years ago fucking
how long the Kingdom Hearts 3 fucking take to come out after it was announced?
It's
Oh, Blade? Yeah, Blade is like 2026, 2027
Early. It's like there's no way that it's coming out to you and that shit
Dude
That's what I love Mortal Kombat did it man
Mortal Kombat was just like hey yo we got a new game
And that shit drops
You know what's really crazy?
I gotta say though I gotta say though real quick though
That a Blade game from the fucking dishonored team sounds like
sounds sick as hell.
Oh yeah, it's perfect.
It's perfect.
Hopefully they can do it.
What's crazy is that, like,
Mortal Kombat's very popular in America,
but, like, not anywhere else.
Like, Americans really love Mortal Kombat,
and then, like, Everett's, like, Street Fighter,
or, no, it's Street Fighter and Tech and everywhere else.
But it's, like...
Because it's extremely...
It's extremely westernized.
When it comes to fighting games,
it's like, fucking...
If it's not Japanese base...
You look at even the way the characters
talk like lukeh the fact that lukeg has like oh yeah i am luke from chowlin munk and it's like this is
like very much so an american's idea what fighting people are because it's crazy because they've won
um they've gotten awards for like best uh multiplayer fighting game and i'm like this is not the best
one but i guess it's over here i guess the voting's happening in america well people like people like
people like people like the reason this conversation started in the first place the
reason this conversation started in the first place, surrounded by, or I mean, in the, in the context of Mortal Kombat was like, it's crazy how Mortal Kombat doesn't have any leaks at all.
Yeah.
And GTA doesn't.
It kind of makes sense.
But it makes sense when you consider like, you know, dude, Rockstar, the last time I checked, I could be wrong, but like, Rockstar employs 4,000 people.
Yeah.
That is a lot of, yeah.
fucking crazy.
For context, I think
That is high as fuck.
Did you say is that low?
That's high?
That's extremely high.
I guess that's hot.
I guess that's...
I don't know the range of like how many people will be working at like a game company.
Yeah.
I just don't know.
I just don't know.
Over a thousand is crazy.
I was going to say a thousand is kind of high.
A thousand is kind of high and that's for like big like a thousand is like at a thousand, one thousand, one thousand, one hundred.
something like that.
Okay?
That's where Bungy is
and that's because they have a live service game
to like maintain.
You know what I mean?
Put this in perspective.
Ubisoft as a publishing arm
with everything that they own,
that's 20,000 people.
For everything.
And Rockstar is like, I think,
4,000 by themselves.
Which is fucking crazy.
If every studio was like that,
that would mean Ubisoft would have
about four studios,
which they do.
not. They have several.
It's insane.
I didn't know the numbers.
Yeah. All of Blizzard is about 5,000.
Activision with Call of Duty and everything that goes into that.
Oh, wait. So yeah. So Activision Blizzard is 20,000 or 17,000, something like that.
And that's everything that Activision. That's every studio that they own.
It's insane. I think 343 is like maybe like 200.
so like i yeah
but
i would have bumped that up to like 400
i would have bumped that up to like 400 yeah
yeah probably you bump it up to thousand with them i mean
i mean yo to be to be fair to them
to be fair to them easy dude
to be fair to three four three man they're really
it's kind of they're doing a fucking really good job actually
over there now that they probably got a lot of the
now that they're only five people
and it's only five people there
they're the people who care a lot i guess
so like now they're actually doing
some good shit.
Not that there's one person who actually played Halo.
He's like,
all right.
With him not sleeping.
I got to say,
I got to,
I got to hand them.
All right.
Now put the flood in.
I got to hand them the flowers.
I got to hand them flowers.
They're doing a good job turning that,
turning that fucking ship around.
Props to them.
They're doing better than bungee is right now,
which is,
man.
I don't know what happened.
I would not be,
I would not be,
I would not be surprised if they canceled final shape.
We can't make it right now.
What's the problem?
What's going on with them right now?
So Bungee missed revenue.
Well, hold on.
Let me just paint some back to her.
Bungee missed.
So they've got bought by Sony for $3.5 billion.
Like a couple years ago.
I think two years ago they were bought by Sony.
And they were bought specifically because of their live service expertise because
Sony was thinking of going into this live service area where they were just like,
oh, well, we need some expertise on this.
We're not really good at this.
We're not really familiar with this.
hilariously enough, even just like
I think yesterday, the last
of us multiplayer game was officially canceled.
So that's gone. That's like their biggest
attempt at anything like that. So it's
completely gone.
So they paid
$3 billion for this team
and
they missed their internal
revenue projections by like 50%
which is
catastrophically bad.
Like that is insane. That's like an understatement.
That's a really
fucking bad. That's really bad.
And so
So basically, and so they had to lay off like,
they had to lay off 10% of their studio.
And basically what happens now with them is,
they're basically in a situation where like,
if they miss revenue projections again
when this DLC comes out,
they basically open themselves to being taken over by Sony's board of directors.
So basically all of the bungee board will be gone
and then they will be replaced by Sony people,
which is hilarious because they only bought,
they, they,
No, they only bought this studio specifically for their expertise in live service,
which they will then no longer have if they throw their own guys into the board of directors for that studio.
It would be like, it would be like if you, it would be like if you bought,
this is a really, this is a really abstract concept, but where with it, it would be like if you bought,
if you were putting together like a military, right, and you got the, the best general that was available.
and then you lobotomized him
and then just made his brain
a copy of your brain
so it's like you got the body of this
you got the body of this general
but you have your brain so it's like what a fucking waste
this is not this general anymore
so they're in a really weird fucking
I don't know man they're in a weird fucking situation
but we'll see
they're gonna they're gonna
they're gonna bug Cory Barlog
and me hey man
I know you're not doing anything right now.
Like, you just,
take over fucking bungee.
And then he's just like,
what if we put Crohn's how to do this in the next fucking,
what if we put in the next function?
What if we put war god,
what if we put war god Zeus of Child in here?
Zeus of Child.
Oh my God.
Oh, guys, we're at an hour mark.
We got a hurry big of questions.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, that's true.
That's true.
Holy shit.
I forgot we were at an hour.
Oh, yeah.
We've only done like one or two questions.
At the fact that bunchy shat itself.
All right.
I promise it gets bigger, road.
And he says, hello to the melanated minorities and Chris.
A genie approaches each of you with one wish.
Now, you are all smart lads.
You have heard the legends before.
You understand that any possible wish you make
will lead to unforeseen negative consequences.
Knowing this, you all decide to make one dastardly wish
in the hopes that the overall outcome will be positive.
What is the ill-wish?
what is the ill-willed wish you would ask for and how would these side effects cause a positive outcome?
Could be a world-changing or just a minor improvement to your life.
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 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 Conton?
By 2029, we'll build the first fault-tolerant quantum computer.
That is one that can run a very, very large, large problem.

Same.
Mine is to say the same.
What?
I wish everyone that dies goes to hell no matter what.
That's crazy.
That's pretty cool.
It's pretty cool.
You're confident that is crazy.
It's such a severe understatement.
of what I just did
to reality, dude.
I do humans, period.
You're like, that's crazy.
That's crazy.
You fucked everything up.
I broke everything.
I'll leave happy.
I buy.
It's so evil.
It's so astronomically fucked up.
And I said everybody.
That means aliens are going to hell.
Aliens dying and galaxies over are going to hell.
They're like, yo, what is this, dude?
You know what I would do?
I would, uh, so I would kill off humanity slowly by giving.
Jesus Christ.
Everyone has penises.
Just vaginas and uter.
That's so insane.
Well, you replace all of them.
You replace all of them?
Yeah, so basically everyone just like.
Well, they would just have them.
Some people would have both.
No, no, no, no.
They're gone.
So now everybody just pieces.
So basically all that's going to happen is people just going to butt-fucking.
each other until they die.
I'm not even exaggerating when I tell you.
I'm not even exaggerating
when I tell you that would ruin
I don't know if I would have much of
a reason to continue.
Honestly.
Like if I knew that that was...
You got to seek improvement on your own at that moment.
You're like, well,
you know how you know
how much a flesh
I would raise in value? There'd be wars
over fleshlights.
There would be fleshlight. There would be full-fledged
wars and genocide.
over fleshlights.
Yeah.
Dude,
that should be crazy
because now,
okay,
so what do you,
so what do you,
so how do you approach Lily now?
Like,
like,
like,
what,
I'm breaking,
I'm leaving.
I'm leaving.
But why?
I'm leaving.
But why would you do that?
If you can't find anything else.
I don't want to ruin.
I don't want to ruin anymore.
I can't need to have that anymore.
Yeah.
But there's no,
then now you can't find what you're looking for.
It's just,
it's just,
it's all gone.
Like,
so why wouldn't just stay in it.
I know,
I'll be by myself.
I'll go on my own solo adventure.
I'll get a little dog and a horse.
So pussy is king.
Like that's the,
that is the key to a loving.
Dude,
without pussy,
man would have gotten so much farther
as a,
as a group.
Oh,
yeah,
we might be able to change the world.
We would colonize Mars.
Mars would be colonized.
The world might change
in a beautiful way,
but we won't be around to see it
because the pussy wars
were going on first.
The pussy wars.
The pussy wars will be going on first
and then after,
that.
After the pussy war settled down,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You know the doctors?
You can still masturbate.
They're like, oh, we can still masturbate.
The doctors that do the, what are they called?
The bottom surgery that turn dicks in the pussies, they're making a killing.
Oh, yeah, dude.
They're going to be the richest people on earth.
They're going to be crazy well.
You drag him to the fucking,
ditch unstrap him.
So I don't, no, no, please don't unstrap me.
Unstrap him
So those are all really terrifying wishes
I don't like any of that
I don't like that
Why not Chris?
It scares me
I think
If I had a wish
So if I had one wish
Right
Then there would be some
Unforeseen negative
I don't know man
I feel like I would
I would
Here's how I would
This isn't exactly how I would word it
But I would drop a contract
So I would know exactly
What I'm wishing for
And all the specificity
all the specificities of it.
But I would ask for, I want $1 from everyone in this country.
And it's untraceable.
That's it.
That's all I would want.
Because then I'm a fucking, I'm a millionaire.
I've got no issues.
I'm not hurting anybody really.
You know?
Yeah.
But something negative has to come with it, right?
Is that the question how I understand it?
Well, that's the genie.
That's the genie.
That's up to the genie.
How would you guys turn that against me?
It's like a monkey ball.
Let's say you guys are the genie.
Right.
So what's going to happen is you say it's untraceable.
Yeah.
You say it's untraceable.
How would you receive it?
I'm still like what's going to happen is.
Yeah, yeah, he would hide it somewhere.
It's like it's yours.
Yeah, like it will exist, but it's fucking six miles underground,
right before it hits the magma or something.
It's just there like, all right, well, good luck.
Good luck.
Damn.
How did you make mine worse?
How did you make mine much worse?
Mine is already extremely bad.
Yeah, yours is just, I mean, you just, but that's the thing.
It's like you've wished for something bad on purpose.
Bad on purpose.
Me too.
You just had no.
So something good to come out of it?
Mine's not objectively bad, though.
Because there's a lot of people that would love my scenario.
No, the
The person that fucking drew
That Prince's Peach would be ecstatic
They'd be like, yo
Yeah
Yeah, totally
It's like this
Fucking rules
I can't believe this
I can't wait to see my ex-girlfriend
Who's now technically a boy
But whatever, technically male, whatever
Comes through her own dress so hard
And here's the thing though
But he, he, this person
fantasize about this shit, but then
now dude's getting piped by a
can in by a Prangles can.
And he's like, I did, well, I thought it was,
I thought it was going to be awesome.
And it just, it's just agony.
It's just, this fucking,
his, his ex got
the hog on them, man.
It looks like, it looks like
this.
Yeah.
He's just taking this
regularly, dude.
And this is the head, bro.
This is the head.
If anyone listening, you just pulled out a Kirkland water bottle.
Getting blighted, getting blighted by this person.
Legs to the point of the other.
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.
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.

Legs just loose, just loose.
He's standing up right because he's laying on the bed.
That's the only reason why he's not standing on his own militia anymore.
So yeah, it's an interesting, interesting scenario for me.
I think, I think, you know, I think that, I think the genie would probably, even if the
genius just be like, you're fucking like, what's wrong with you?
Just leave.
He's just like, what are you even, I want to go find somebody else?
Is he like, are you sure?
I'm like, yeah, everyone.
All of them go there.
All of them now.
All of them.
You tell you don't want like a billion dollars?
No.
No.
All right.
He's like, no joke.
No, seriously.
I'll give you a billion dollars.
I'm like, no.
No.
Everybody burned.
Let's move on.
Cyrus wrote in.
He says, what up, you derelict heathens?
Aside from socks, what is the most dog shit Christmas
gift you remember getting when you were a kid?
At 11 years old,
some out-of-state relatives thought a literal child
with like a $20 gift card to some restaurant
I'm convinced wasn't real.
I've definitely gotten Chili's gift cards that I remember being really...
But I got an Applebee's gift card, bro.
But dude, yo...
What the fuck goes there?
Dude, they got fucking bottomless...
They got bottomless...
They got bottomless, long island Tuesdays.
They got bottomless Long Island iced teas on Tuesdays.
Bro, on my birthday...
On my birthday, I just wanted to grab a steak real fast.
And my dumb ass was like...
I'm curious, does taste Applebee's steaks?
I just wanted, it was the most dog shit steak.
I think I'd rather would have like a Salisbury fucking TV dinner.
I was like, what the fuck is this?
You're an apple bees.
Applebee's is for chicken tenders only.
Like, that's like the only thing you can get there that is safe.
That is safe that won't make you sad.
That's like kind of like it's got some kind of, it's like,
oh, it's just nice breading at least.
You know, like I don't, I don't know.
I remember, this is not a joke.
I remember for Christmas, or my birthday, one of them.
I can't remember.
We had a neighbor, or I don't even know if he lived in our building.
I don't think he was a neighbor.
He was, he was a Kramer-like figure in my life growing up.
I'm crying right now.
The idea of an Applebee's steak is so fucking gross.
Bro, it's, it's, it is a stuff.
They microwaved it.
I literally think they just microwaved it because it was, I was like, what the fuck is this?
so bad. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe how bad it was. But this guy, his name was
Spunky. I think I've brought him up on the show before. Maybe. I'm not sure. Spunky. Spunky.
He would show up to my parents' apartment when I was a child. He would go into the fridge.
He would eat stuff. He would tell my parents a bunch of stuff that I didn't have the attention
span to pay attention to. And then he would leave for months at a time. And then he wouldn't see him.
And then he would show up again with a completely different haircut and do the same thing again.
had like a million different jobs.
I don't know what,
I don't know what this guy's story was really.
But he gave me,
I remember for my birthday,
he just so happened to be there for my birthday.
And I think that's what this was.
I don't think he came to give me a birthday gift.
I think he just sort of showed up on my birthday
and realized what my parents were doing.
And he was like,
hey,
here you go, man.
And he gave me fucking cough drops,
like a lot of them.
Like a handful of cough drops.
He's like,
Happy birthday, kid.
I was like...
Was it at least the Cherry Halls?
That's crazy.
No, it was like...
It wasn't cherry halls.
I don't remember.
It was not halls.
I know that.
I know it was not a branded...
It's not even a good shit.
Yeah, it wasn't even like a something that I was like, okay, cool.
He got like...
Equate or something or some bullshit.
Kirkland is some shit.
Dude, it's crazy too, because that was like a really good birthday.
So, like, it just...
It just...
The disparity was crazy.
Like, I think I got...
got like a Game Boy Advance SP and like a really cool like a cool costume or something or some like really cool action figures some like tall like I had like Dragon Ball Z figures that were like this big like really fucking tall and then cough drops from this fucking guy.
That's so funny that he literally just reached in his pocket and gave you whatever he had.
Yeah.
Because I've had cop drops in my pocket before like when I'm like off.
Yeah, for sure.
And the little sniffles and shit.
I'm trying not to cry.
I'm trying not to cry.
The thing that made me sad, the thing that made me sad is that, like, I think I understood.
Like, I understood what was happening.
Like, I understood it's like, oh, you just reached in your pocket.
Like, I don't expect a birthday gift from you.
I don't know you would.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, you, like, so the fact that he gave me anything I thought was funny.
But, like, the thing that bothered me was like, I know that he just gave me that
because it was in his pocket.
And it bothers me because it's like, if my birthday was like either yesterday or the day after,
what would he have had in his pocket that would have been more interesting?
Like, how do I know, like, on the day afterwards, he didn't have, like, a really cool knife, you know what I mean?
That he would have just, like, hey, here you go.
You know what I mean?
Like, that would have been sick.
Yeah, here you go, kid.
Here's a rifle.
But there's a right.
Here's a rifle, kid.
Here's a fucking sawed-off shotgun.
Here you go, kid.
Sawed off.
You're like, ooh.
Here you go, kid.
Here's a haunted manuscript that shapes your reality as you read it.
it's like oh
it's like well
okay
I don't know
I want this
the stupidest shit
it is
here's the necrumacan
it's the necronomicon
it's such a dumb
it's such a dumb game
that's good
it's so stupid
but it's amazing
it's so good
yeah I have to put
man fuck I'm so behind
you know what I'll make
I don't make better
I'm fucking behind
I actually had the mystery team in it
actually for real
all right you're
let's move on
no I think it would have been
Fun with the man
Next. Next.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Here we go.
Ghost raid.
So stupid.
Ghost raid.
Ghost raid rode in.
We know ghost raid.
Absolute.
Psycho.
Ghost rape.
No ghost raid.
Why is he waving ghosts?
Ghost raid.
Oh.
Oh.
Okay.
The single most un...
He's fucking
his...
Ghost raid is a...
A dark urge.
I would like that.
Ghostway as Gold Race has bad ending energy.
Yeah, he's bad, he's the bad ending.
He says, hey, snarky, snark and the dark bunch.
Hope life's going well.
So many companies seem to have a theme park.
From Disney World to Nintendo Land to Hershey Park.
It got me wondering what theoretical snark tank theme park,
what a theoretical snark tank theme park would consist of,
be it rides, foods, mascots.
The only limits your imagination.
I love this fucking question.
I love this idea.
Because we got to have mascots.
What, what, what's it?
What's that?
Yeah.
No, I just want to, like, is, how old is this, nigga, like, to make a reference to
Marky Mark?
I have no idea.
I have no idea.
I have no idea.
That's still, that's still too young.
That's still too young.
That's too young to make a fucking Marky Mark reference.
He probably looked, he probably watched the video of him being that Asian man's head out of his eye, his eye.
His eye always said, so he's like, oh, that's who Mark is.
Yeah.
Hell yeah, dude.
All right.
So, okay.
the mascots, God, I love this.
So, penis man, absolutely.
We're definitely gonna have a penis man.
Lord Sexman.
Lord Sexman.
What does Lord Sexman look like?
We gotta, well, that's the thing.
It's like, we gotta draft him up for the, for the, for the theme park.
We have to figure out like what he looks like.
That's an extra ammo in itself, like figuring out.
You just took the words right out of my mouth.
So this is absolutely.
So this is absolutely.
Write that shit down.
I'm writing that shit down.
Snark Tank theme park
That's fucking
Definitely
Because that we could go for our
We could go for a while on that
I'm going to write it in the extra ammo queue
In our discovery
Yeah just do that please
That'd be fucking
It's not working
Yay
That's an awesome idea
I can't wait to do that one
It's gonna be the fucking
Shadiest thing
Yeah so
So Ghost Raid
Thank you for the amazing question
We will absolutely
We will absolutely do this
in depth for like an entire hour because this this this question captured my imagination in a way that I wasn't anticipating when I was reading it so we're going to save this because it's too good so consider that a compliment to you and your question asking skills please 100% come again let's see let's see let's see you'll bust again let's get one more I got to see did did did did you did you got to leave already I thought we could do like two more I got to start getting ready oh I mean I guess we'll do two more uh and we'll do two sign
we'll do two more and then I'll just record the names
for sure
thank you I appreciate it guys
yeah
let's see
oh my god
puffing on cheeses
puffing on cheese
you know you try to like this shit
when you were a kid
who didn't
and you inhale burnt
you inhale straight and burr
you're like
you immediately start choking
like what the fuck
that was just smoke
This is kind of an interesting one.
Can people do this?
Sweet come of mine wrote in.
He says,
Sweet come of mine.
Come, come, come.
Oh, this is a scoge, scoge.
He says, hey, snark-cunts,
way, way back in episode six,
hilarious to even bring up something that long ago.
Like, we were like, we remember that.
That's insane.
We were mere children.
That was like, what, like the,
third or second episode that we did
as a as a
something like that it was like the second
yeah like because we started
episode like four or five I think when we started
doing it weekly
because before that it was scattered
the things we've said the things we've
been recorded saying is
fucking obscene dude
like I think about it sometimes I'm like
holy shit
the stuff we've said on
recording is insane
I don't remember nearly anything
that we've ever said.
I remember in moments.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway, he wrote in, he says,
way back in episode six,
Derek made a statement that you can absolutely always find someone better than the person
you're dating.
That in a mathematical sense,
that there was always someone better for you.
Seeing as that was like 2020 and Derek is now married,
Sween is probably going to marry soon and Chris is still smart and alone,
does that opinion for any of you change or do you still hold to it?
Happy holidays.
No, because Santa touches your boyfriend.
but graciously.
Oh, that's hot.
Thank you.
I disagree, but I disagree with a different way now.
But I, um, no, I, it, it doesn't, my experience doesn't alter the, the facts of
there being seven billion, eight billion people on the planet.
And it's just, it's just not like this whole idea of this soulmate or one and only someone
thing is just fucking stupid.
You know, it doesn't matter.
I'm completely satisfied.
That's a different thing, though.
I'm completely satisfied.
I don't have the desire to, like, oh, I need to upgrade or some shit.
But say, for example, a ghost just takes her.
She literally a ghost just like appears, wraps her, and then she disappears.
And I have to get over that.
You know, I get over that after a while.
Like, the crazy shit happened.
Odds are that I could.
Would I find someone?
I don't know.
The odds are low to actually maybe find somebody like that.
But as far as, let's just say if I were able to talk to every woman that was a bachelorette or whatever.

I want to counterpoint real quick. Yeah. First of all, if you saw Ghost Take Jojo, you're never
getting over that. You're never getting over that. I know. It was such an extreme example.
It's such an extreme. You are never. I'm a little bit, here's the thing. I'm a little bit
superstitious in the way that I didn't want to say like, oh, if she got.
like, I use an example that is so absurd that I feel like I can't will.
So you'd use one that's more terrifying than any of the ones that actually could happen.
I use one that's so unlikely to happen than saying something that's like a possibility.
And then what if something happened?
I'm like, oh, my God, I willed that into existence.
You know?
So I just want to be like so outlandish with the example.
Like, oh, ghost steals her.
If you guys are just talking and a ghost shows up and it's like, I'm taking Jojo.
And you're like, no, you're not.
And it just grabs her and she's gone.
her and then just disappears.
Like, I'm fucked.
I don't know.
What do I say to anyone about that?
You're going to jail, first and foremost, a person.
A person is missing.
I'm totally fucked.
It's missing.
Guys, you gotta believe me.
I know this is going to sound so insane.
I understand that this is going to sound like I'm making this up, but I can't even, I can't even begin to tell you.
Like, please hook me up to a lie detector.
I swear to God.
I was talking to her in the case.
kitchen and a ghost came
said I'm taking
Jojo wrapped their arms
around her and she vanished I'm
not kidding hook me up to a lie detector
I'm telling the truth please help me
you know what's crazy you know what's even crazier
the state he would be in you cannot hug him up to
lie detector because if they in that
state of mind they'd ask you what's your name
you would say Derek Pilot
and it would be a lie
and it would be a lie
just like that's my name
The trauma you'd be experiencing would be off the charts.
You'd have to grapple with a lot, dude.
It's a lot, yeah.
A new chapter of the world opened up to you,
and it's not even a chapter that opened up when you're young,
where you're kind of get used to the fact that's real.
It opens up in your 30s where you're like.
You know what pisses me off, though?
How many things have I seen that happened that I thought didn't happen
that I just repressed?
What's going on with the world?
Here's the thing that would probably be the most upsetting.
There's so many people that believe in superstitious and supernatural stuff, like the religion that they believe in.
Right?
They believe in so much.
They believe in how Holy Ghost, but then I tell them this.
They're like, bullshit.
But I'm like, but, but you believe, though.
You give me the benefit of please.
You made me swear on a Bible when I sat down to give my testimony.
But me telling you for real, a ghost stole my wife is bullshit to you?
I'll eat everyone in this courtroom.
I'll eat every single one of you guys.
I'll eat you guys.
I love the idea of that scenario.
You swear on this Bible that has ghost in it.
And you're like, bro, I swear to God, they're like, no, you're stupid and you're crazy.
Get the fuck out of here.
You're like, the bailiff just starts to beating the shit out of you.
You start to whooping your ass with the fucking malice.
He's like, male, if you take this, and they start whooping.
The fucking judge just starts sipping his coffee like he can't see it.
And then at the last minute before your dad, he's like, oh, all right, that's enough.
That's enough.
That's enough.
We still got to put him somewhere.
We still got to use him as a slave.
He's got to make license plates.
Hold on.
Don't kill him.
Don't kill him.
All right, buddy.
On your feet.
On your feet.
Look at you.
You're looking like a mess.
Oh, you can't walk now?
You pussy.
You stole your wife, you fucking jackass.
Last one.
What's what these homies
fucking my whole wrote in?
He says, hey, Negro Trio.
I mean...
Trio!
Let's relax. Let's relax.
What's one Christmas movie?
What? Chris is rapping. What? Chris is rapping. He could say at N-word.
In rapping, he can say to N-word. That's the only time.
Facts.
What's one Christmas movie that...
that you just can't stand.
But at every Christmas get together,
people always put it on.
Mine is an elf because I find the humor annoying.
It's a fair answer, I think.
I remember liking that movie,
but I only seen it like once.
I hate The Grinch, from being honest.
I hate the Grinch.
Jim Carrey's Grinch is a terrible movie, I think.
You hate the Grinch?
I don't like any of the Grinch's, actually.
I'm lying.
I fucking love that movie.
Really?
I love that movie so much.
What movie do I think is very overrated for Christmas,
but everybody else to play it.
I think the Santa Claus is dog shit.
I think I just like Christmas movies.
What did you say, Derek?
I think most of them are pretty good.
I think Santa Claus, the fucking Tim Allen?
Oh, yeah, they're terrible.
They're terrible.
There was just one get together.
Chris, I think you remember.
You've got to remember this.
Let's get together, right?
We didn't get together.
We all came over.
We were all going to watch movies, right?
And we were like, yo, let's watch a movie.
And one of our friends would not stop,
saying put on Santa Claus 3, the escape clause.
She would not stop.
We watched Seoul.
Good movie.
Really enjoyed it.
We're like, oh, that's a good movie.
What else do you guys want to watch?
Yeah, this is recent then.
She would not stop.
It was 2021, I think.
Yeah, it's the last few years.
Would not stop.
We're like, yo, we don't want to watch 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, 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 are 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.

Okay.
An hour later.
Let's watch this.
We don't want to watch that movie.
We do not want to see that movie.
Stop.
She didn't stop.
We ended up watching it that night.
Oh, my God.
She would not give up.
She would not give up.
I was so miserable.
I already hate it.
that movie. I don't, I already hate those movies, period. Even the first one that people, like, argue,
even the first one that people argue is like, good. It's like, I don't, I just don't find Tim Allen
funny or endearing at all. I don't like him. I think he's very, very unfunny. I think the premise is
fucking dumb. I just, I can't, I can't get into it at all. But the Santa Claus 3 specifically
sucks dick on a level that I could not even begin to describe.
without wasting
everyone's time.
It's so bad.
It is a horrible movie.
Because that's the one with like the fucking,
is that the one where he has like the plastic beard?
Is that the one?
Yeah.
And it's the fucking Jack Frost.
Oh my God.
Martin Short.
Martin Short.
Martin Short.
Martin Short.
Martin Short.
There you go.
Yeah, dude.
I,
oh, man.
Awful,
awful fucking,
awful film.
Awful fucking movie.
But that's probably,
That's probably one. Nobody, but the thing about that was, is that nobody outside of that one situation,
I've never, ever seen anybody put that movie on or, like, argue for it so incessantly.
The one, I'll-
They would not give up.
I'll say this.
I find, I just, I don't really care for a Christmas story really at all.
I don't know if I hate it, but I don't care for it even slightly.
Like, it's never something that I want to watch.
watch it doesn't hit for me it's not I don't find it amusing you're not you're not 50 years old
Chris yeah like that which one is it's um it's the one with the black and white one right
no a Christmas story is a Christmas story is the one where it's like you'll shoot your eye out
kid you know uh you uh the the one with like they're at school and they a kid sticks his tongue
to the pole and it's it sticks and I Fred Gile I don't care about that shit and the
The leg lamp.
The leg lamp, I think, is kind of funny.
I feel like, I'm a describing portion of this movie, and I'm like, is it Ebony's the Scrooge one?
No, right?
No, that's a Christmas Carol.
A Christmas story is the one with the little kid, look it up.
You have a computer in front of you.
Look up a Christmas story.
You'll see it.
You'll see exactly what I'm talking about.
If you've ever seen it before, God bless you, but it's just an old, it's a very old movie.
I don't care for it.
It's got nothing on, it's got nothing on home alone.
or like any of these other, like, great Christmas movies.
Like, it's just like, I can't.
Fucking excellent.
I can't sit there.
Home alone will always be well.
Home alone is one of the ones.
Oh, my God.
Fuck this movie.
Fuck this movie.
Yeah.
And fuck that stupid ass kid, too.
Yeah.
No, 100%.
Oh, my God.
I wanted to punch his head in, dude.
Yeah, 100%.
Like, that's trash.
Don't put that shit on in my house ever.
But, yeah, home alone, definitely.
Especially number two.
I love number two more than number one.
And, you know, one movie I'm afraid to watch again because I'm afraid it's going to be dog shit is
jingle all the way.
Because I love that movie as a kid.
That movie's still really fun.
Is it?
I'm afraid to watch it, man.
Because that's why it ruined Space Jam for me when I watched it as an adult.
I was like, oh, this move is fucking terrible.
And I feel bad now.
Space Jam.
Space Jam is crazy.
Did you hear about that canceled?
Like, they were going to the sequel to Space Jam back in like the 90s and early
2000s that they were going to do that ended up not happening because
Looney Tunes back in action didn't do well at the box office?
I don't really remember.
Do you know what this is, Kingston?
Do you know what it is?
I heard about that, yeah.
I heard about the fact that they were going to make another Looney Toons movie,
but Looney Toons back in action didn't do very good.
Well, so the idea initially was to make a sequel to Space Jam,
and it was called Skate Jam with Tony Hawk,
which I actually think would have been fucking dope, to be honest with you.
It could have done all right.
Instead of just doing like, hey, it's basketball every single time,
the idea of them doing kind of like the same idea,
but like for different sports or different like,
That's kind of cool.
It even rolls off the tongue to skate jam.
Yeah, skate jam sounds cool.
It could work.
And the idea of, I love the idea, too, that there would be, like, skate music in a Lututut.
Like, the idea of, the idea of Daffy Duck fucking doing, like, grinding a tailpipe to, like, bad religion or something is fucking ridiculous.
But we never got it because Luton's back in action sucked.
Oh, well.
Anyway, that's a Luton.
and James.
Back in a barnyard.
Back at the barnyard.
All right, relax.
Back like I never left.
That's going to be it for us today.
Next episode,
Black.
Next episode, we're going to just kind of run through
the remaining questions.

And then we never followed up on it.
