Beep voodoo, slit the throat scene. Oh, yeah, hey. The hands drive miles and miles to avoid the fence. That's a... All right. Welcome everybody in the Star Trek podcast. Just remember what the Manson said. Oh, you have...

What the... Happy New Year, I think. Right? That's what the episode is. I think. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Young. It's the holidays.

We're slowing down a little bit. Fucking deal with it. Yeah. We're trying to be as a. reasonable as possible with these with these episodes but hope you guys are about to have a happy new year uh or don't i don't know it doesn't make a difference to me really like yeah maybe it's a i don't know you personally yeah yeah don't do those new year's resolution things they don't work they're very dumb they do if they're easy you just say hey yeah i'm gonna blink in 2024 yeah i'm gonna kill today yeah i'm gonna pee a lot this year shit myself less today like yeah

of course you are it's easy less less I love that implication we were talking we were talking a little bit about just before the show how and we didn't cover this on the show because I think I just remember covering it so extensively on sacred symbols that it didn't really

register to me as something that we needed to talk about and it still kind of isn't but E3 is like officially dead and we were talking a little bit about it before the show because it's like man I do I miss it's sad that it's gone I'm glad I got to go the one time that I went because now I feel like I just barely like because

2019 was the last one and I went in 2018. I remember because I played Spider-Man early. I did all this stuff and I was like oh man it's crazy to think that like if I had just not gone I would have never been able to go. That's like a complete missing. That would be a complete piece of gaming history that I would have completely missed. So I think about going

but it's sad that we don't have it anymore because I really miss that live on stage human cringe. You know, I miss getting excited about stuff. I miss laughing at stuff. There's something about it that I really, I'm sad that it's gone. Do you guys remember,

do you guys remember Mr. Caffeine at all? Vaguely. Was that guy again? So Mr. Caffeine, I can't remember if it was an EA or Ubisoft conference, but back in like 2012 or 2011, 2013, something like that, maybe a little bit before. They hired this fucking guy whose name was Mr. Caffeine to host their show.

And it was the strangest fucking thing I've ever seen. Because he had this like hyper persona, but he's like 29. And it was, it was so weird. It was the weirdest thing. I remember, I remember it so vividly. But if anybody's listening to the show, you can Google Mr. Caffeine and like everything comes up. Like, everything from it because it was just so. iconic, but it's also like, that's a long time ago now.

And now we kind of just get these like directs that are just like this AI voice being like, please look forward to Yoshi's famous Dick Detective on Nintendo Switch coming February. I can't wait for Differty Dicticton. The penis is voiced by Seth Rogen. He's so fucking cool.

I love Yoshi's dick. Yeah, dude, even stuff that's funny, like stuff that like when they announced Chris Pratt, Mario will be voiced by Chris Pratt. And it's just so fucking sterile, man. Like, it sucks. Like, I want that yarn guy back. Do you remember, do you remember getting into the yarn man?

Dude, he was shaking so much. It was terrifying. I thought he was going to delete himself, dude. I love that, though, because it's so, I don't know, man. I find that so endearing that there's like, here's some guy who's like, he clearly doesn't belong on stage. He's really fucking nervous, but he's up there anyway. Yeah, it's like some AI voice telling you that like Mario's got a new fucking voice.

I don't know. It's so, I don't know. I don't like it. Yeah, I miss the weird shit. I miss the cringe. I miss moments like, uh, there was like a website. I don't even much too long ago that when you're just, when you're just streaming it, it shows the, the viewer algorithm. It would show like, not the algorithm.

That's the wrong word, but it would show the, uh, the graph. So it would show you like where it is and where the spikes. viewership and everything. Oh, yeah. And I just remember laughing so hard. I think it was in 2012 when Florida performed. And that shit crashed harder than Black Friday.

It was so fucking funny. Just saying how many people could not give a solitary fuck about this guy. Like, oh, I'll come. That they thought an audience full of games press, we're going to give a shit about Florida. It's crazy.

Yeah, about Florida. Florida. You know, dude, I, I have, I feel like I have some type of disability in, and I can't, I couldn't make that connection right away that. Dude, I didn't make it right away either. I swear to God, I didn't make it right away. I was like, crazy. This name is, it was like Flo Rida.

Oh, right. Stupid fucking name. Have you never seen it written out? No, that's why I never saw it right now until like, I was just sitting around with it. And I was like, Flo Rida. This happened. That's so funny. I have the opposite experience because the only time, look, I wasn't friends with people listening to Flo Riter at all.

So, like, the only time I ever saw Flo Rida was like on MTV, like in those commercials. Like, do you remember those like MTV commercials where they would have like different songs and you would have to text it, text some number to get the ringtones? It was like that and it would say the name, Flo Rida and it would be like whatever song and I would be like, this guy's name is Florida? This is Florida. It's weird, but I had the same problem with, you know, those shirts of California that are stacked on top of each other? It says California. Hello, hello. I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of Smart Talks with IBM.

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

that others have not done before. Where do you imagine we are in the timeline of this technology? There will come a point when it will mature. Right? Yeah. My cell phone is a mature technology at this point. How far are we from that point with Kondo? By 2029, we'll build the first fault-tolerant computer.

That is one that can run a very, very large, large problem. To learn how IBM is building the future of computing, visit IBM.com slash quantum. All right, quick quiz for the hiring managers out there. What's worse? Being understaffed or being poorly staffed? Well, that's a trick question,

Need to hire? This is a job for Indeed's sponsored jobs. And my just stupid brain, since it doesn't read that way, I was like, what the fuck is Callie for NIA? And I was thinking, like, is this some type of, is NIA like an acronym for something? Like, and I didn't get it immediately. Like, it's a support thing, like Cali for the national. Orna is for the national idiots of assholes.

I don't know. And I just did some assholes. That's fucking crazy. That's a pretty cool day, though. That's so funny. My brain just couldn't understand that shit. It just couldn't like, so then it took me when I was reading it. Then when I figured it out, I'm like, oh, wow, my brain sucks.

And the same way, immediately I didn't, the flow rider, even even seeing it right away. It took me a minute where I'm like, what the fuck? Oh, that's so fucking stupid. What a lazy name. It's not even, like, he probably thought it was clever when he was 13. He just kept it, you know? That's so cool. Florida.

Floor rider. And what does that even mean? He's just fucking the floor. What does he just ride? Does he have like a, do you sit down on a skateboard and he just, like, drags himself across the floor? Like, what does that mean? Like, when he tries to actually make it make sense.

I think the idea is that he rides the flow, you know, I think. Yeah, that's actually more, uh, I, that's, that's more accurate where I just, I was trying to separate it from him, like, actually flowing and it being more like the floor. Dude, he's, you know, some of my, some of my friends from the south, they say flow. Why didn't they say floor? He sucks. He sucks. He sucks. He does dog shit.

I don't know anything about, I don't like his music, but I thought his, uh, his, uh, his, actually his actual flow, the cadence. was like, oh, he could have used it for something actually. Like, you know, when he did that remix of a- He did not have a great flow. What's that spinning song? You spin my dick right around or whatever. That was not, that was not, that was a good flow to you. That was like really mid.

That was like the era of midness. That was like 2000. I wouldn't call, see, what I would call that is, because it's purposefully not like, it's not supposed to be about, oh, that's the most talented flow, but it is what I would call ingenious in a way that it's so catchy and like you can take breaths at the perfect time. It's right. It's something that like that is so easily able to resonate with a lot of people, which is ingenious to make in the first place.

It's that's kind of like say there's people like say Nas who is like superior, but his flow is not made to be emulated and to resonate with everybody. and that's why he doesn't pop as hard as he pops. And then there's people that... I disagree. I think Nas's flow is extremely genius, but I think it's not easily to be... No, you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. I'm not saying it's not...

I'm not saying that. I'm saying, that's what I'm talking about, like, say, he took a route, flow rider, he took a route to resonate with people more to where it's like, I can easily catch on... Like, say, it makes people feel when they recite this, they make them feel like they're actually doing something and that's kind of genius where it's like

I'm rapping along to this and like it makes me feel like I kind of know how to rap now. It's kind of like I think it's kind of genius in a way to easily capture people who don't really have like talent and who could really like make something themselves.

You know, it's like a fucking punk song versus like a fucking progressive metal song. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. It's like that in that way. Yeah. No, you're totally, I that putting it in that context makes a lot of sense because that's that I totally get what you're saying yeah it's more capable for people that are so easy understanding easy digestible some of the riffs are so catchy good yeah somebody somebody described punk to me uh is but or not to me like i i just

remember hearing this description of punk from like punk artists or it's like punk is terrible musicians making great music it's like it's like it's totally that's totally right that's totally I agree. Yeah. But I mean, they're not like classically trained. They're just like scrappy. Like they just like they had a guitar and they were just like this sounds cool, whatever fucking.

They're not like sitting there thinking about like the A flats. You know? Or like the be suspended. Like it's not it's not like any other. It's so scrappy inherently. And so like there is there is definitely that aspect there. I got to say something. When you say the modern modern day slaying has totally ruined.

suspended for me because people say suss, right? And for short. And when I hear it totally fucking, I'm like, it just, it doesn't sound legitimate anymore. You, you can, you conflate sus-s with suspended?

Well, so, like, instead of saying, in music, suss, in music, I, that's con, that's really, I know, I know, I know, I understand, but I'm not like. In specific, yeah, in specific tabs. When you're, where you're talking about what you call a chords, and you're talking about like what you just said like flats that you say suspending so like that i'm aware of that instead of suspended you just sure you just sus i understand but i've never conflated

those two because of the fact that i do now doesn't mean that anymore to me is this it just suspicious in my brain that's what it's just it's just the words because go ahead i was going to say like that would make sense because you don't i mean you don't operate in the realm of music like derek does you know what i mean that's true so like it would it would make a ton of sense i'm like this guy's suspicious, not suss like he's suspending the cord he's going to use. It's just crazy. I still think about the suspended cord. Like, when people say suss, I still think about like, I still think that in my mind.

Yeah, no, I'm ruined. The pop culture is fucking me up, man. Pop culture is fucking. You're, you're, I feel, it's weird because as soon as something gets like a slang meaning, I stop assuming what it means anymore. Like, I'm like, oh, this is the slang meaning is that. And it's, I'm going to use the full word now because I want to make sure no one can confuse what I'm saying. Yeah, that happens.

I mean, it's, it is what it is. I feel, sometimes I just feel old when that's all. It's not like I'm confused or anything. It's just, it makes me feel like, oh, I'm, I didn't grow up with this terminology. And a lot of times it's either age or it's just regional, right? It just depends. Like, uh, talking to people about some. slang that's more popularized now

is some shit that has been around for a very fucking long time, you know, like say even using bet where I was confused. Something as simple as that. You know what? Really? That shit did not, growing up, that was not, I know in some regions, people

being agreeable or just being like cool, like I bet was always a thing. That's very New York. But say... I never heard it. That's very, very New York. And that thing. It's like, It would probably very niche in your regional area. Dead ass is,

that ass is the most New York saying that exists. That is our number one thing. That's the one that I think spread the furthest, I think. Like, at 100%. You have fucking, you have British people say, dead ass, man.

It's like, you can't say that. Dead ass. You can't say that. What do they say? What did you say? Huh? They still have one fucking thing that I think is actually really,

really cool. The British? Yeah, instead of saying homely, they say demand them. I think that's actually very fucking cool. I hate that. It's definitely not theirs. It's definitely like Jamaicans brought it there. Yeah.

Because, you know, they don't have any culture at all. Like, the British people actually have no culture. It's insane. Their culture is completely just taken as people's culture, like actually for real. They have dry comedy. They have very, very dry comedy. And they have bullocks. But they have bullocks.

And, um, yeah, that's about it. Bullocks. And what are you on about? It's poshness. It's like, yeah, what are you on about? In it. That's not culture. Those are phrases. It's in it.

You see that tweet or other? It's like British paramour isn't real. They can't hurt you. And it said British Paramar like, In It Fun. In it fun. It's stupid. In it fun. Living on your own.

I be good. Be it all. alone. Wait, whoa, why is Jesse Smolett trending? What's going on? Oh, God. What happened now? They got him again. Did they really get him this time? Again.

Did he Epstein himself? Because I remember him saying that when he was on the, uh, when he's in court, do you remember that? If anything happens to me, I'm not suicidal. Do you remember that? And like his lawyer was just looking at him like, oh. Just do it. Just do it. Just do it. I'm making no money. Just do it.

Twitter is so useless, man Twitter is useless because I just saw Behan trending for training for example I'm like oh I wonder what's happening with Mortal Kombat and then it was just random bullshit that nothing happened

I'm like what's not even trending Yeah Yeah that's exactly what's happening here It's like it's just a bunch of people It's just a bunch of people tweeting about how Justy Smollett is trending And it's like Why

Show me Why? I don't care I know he's trending That's why I clicked this Twitter sucks, man. Jesus Christ. Anyway, let's move on to questions. There's really not much to talk about.

I know there's just constant Wolverine leaks at this point. That's it. That's all the, that's really all the news is. Meow. Meow. Meow. Meow. Meow.

Wolverine. Solverry's famous catchphrase. Wolverine's famous catchphrase meow. Jesus Christ. Wow. This has been an inside joke would be my friends. When he does be a little. He does the X and he does the X.

It says, meow, and it's a fatal claw and he's like, he was always my favorite person to emulate in the, in the Marvel versus Capcom games. Because just how aggressive and just the little ball of energy is.

But then I was like, his fucking jitter, like, because everyone, like, does the dash thing, but he looks the most insane because of the way he's standing. He's just standing,

like, he's already short his shit and he's crouched over so much. You're like, why does he look so mad? He's so, Kent up. If you watch, watch his move the berserker barrage at the very end of it, even when he stops, it's like he's about to explode because he's like mad that he had to stop.

He's mad that the game didn't let him get six more hits on you, bro. I just loved how berserker barrage is what again. Is that his regular special? That's when he rushes forward and slashes you for maybe for like six hits. And then there's the hyper berserker barrage. Then that's the special, right? That's special for like 20-something hits. fucking, it's just,

the frame, there's no frames essentially, just, it's just like, it's, I love what he does. He just does the X on his chest. And he's like, I'm fucking,

here I come bombs. And he just starts to run against him. Like, bro, this guy is sick. Weapon X. Guys are fucking nerds. I'm fucking, he's so good. That's one of the coolest games ever,

bro. He's so good. Especially, bone claw, bone claw, fucking Wolverine. Wolverine is crazy because he's faster.

He's faster than ready. He's got higher reach, too. He's got, the reach to, it's just like it's, huh? What are you saying? Hello, hello. I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of Smart Talks with IBM.

Oh, yeah. Let's go, bitch. Becadourg. Come here to get. I think about Ex-Bronin's Wolverine. And that game was fucking unreasonably good. Settle down, black. Did you guys play X-Men Origins to Wolverine?

Yeah. Yes, it's so good. It's so fucking fun. It's so fun. Dude, I wish I could play, like, I don't, I don't think that game's really available in, like, Yeah, you can only do it on 360. That sucks. 360 and Xbox.

I mean, PlayStation 3 if you have a PlayStation 3. Yeah, but you don't want to use it. You do not want to use a PlayStation, a modern PlayStation 3 because you had to install every game. You remember that? That was like the only, that was like the only generation that year, or that general, that was the only console that generation where you had to install a game.

So, like, most retro games are like, yeah, you want to do it. That's right. That's right. I forgot about that. You don't get with that fucking bullshit. That's good. We're going to say that. I just

I remember everything's getting so mixed together I don't know if it was an E3 because I just remember that game being showcased on something and I just remember being super impressed showing the damage mechanics

I just remember that was the thing that actually drew me into wanting to play that game was just looking at I was like oh it's so fucking cool just looking and see his fucking ribs and shit he's all torn up and when he pulls his hand

When he pulls the skin of his hand off To get the fucking The um the freaking thing off the handcuff off And literally his hand skin goes with it And I'm like oh god Wolverine that's a little much It's a really fucking cool It's a really fucking cool game

I miss I miss man that era It's really really really cool but it goes nowhere But it's a really fun game But it just goes nowhere It doesn't matter It's like this is Do you could pounce from like fucking like 50 feet away You want that people

It's so ridiculous It's so ridiculous It's so ridiculous It's such a crazy game I love games like that Where they show people's power Like I like good depiction of people's powers That's always what I've enjoyed the most

About like video games Especially if Marvel video games Especially the recent ones Except for the Avengers game That one's the fucking But it's so stupid They got Thor around And Thor is not solving every problem

By hitting it one time With his hand But I can break the planet But it's like There's just like Seeing Spider-Man Like just stop a car with ease He's like, he flips a car over, catches it, puts it on the ground.

And I'm like, nice. That's the shit that Spider-Man does, as opposed to him, like, in the MCU having a tough time fighting, like, I don't know, some old geriatric man in a fucking suit. You know, it's like, it's just, like, really annoying. Let's go, I don't know. I do miss that. Yeah, man.

There's some really good. Fliz 30 feet into you. Make a barrage. Did you guys, did you guys see? Did you guys see that in, like, Spider-Man 2's budget? was $315 million. It was something like, yeah, it was something huge. That makes no fucking sense to me.

They made more shit than that. That's why they couldn't have made only the game. There's definitely a bunch more shit that they're like, there's going to drip for the game. It's the budget for the game, dude. You know what it sounds like? There's more stuff that they have. They're asking for that much and then somebody's pocketing at least half of that.

Well, no, it's, it's just, I don't know, man. Come on. I feel like, I feel like, I feel. feel like we're paying too much for what we're getting. And I don't mean that from like the consumer perspective. I think people are weird about that when they're like, oh man, this game costs fucking $70. It's like, dude, the original Mario Brothers, like Super Mario World fucking costs like $90 when it came out. Like we're really, and that was in 90s money.

Yeah, you can see it in Nintendo catalogs. You can see like the scans from those magazines where it's like Mario Brothers, $90. And it's like, holy shit. And that's back when $90 was actually $90 fucking dollars. Now it's like Now $90 isn't even like What is that? Like equivalent that's like what like 30 probably

Yeah and that was the same it was fuck That worked in the same way as say when plasma TVs first came out If you remember They were like $8 to $10,000 Yeah they were really expensive I remember that Yeah and so it worked in that way And then once things became obviously more mass produced

Then the price drastically went down But it's always been relatively as say Even as a kid Me PlayStation Super Nintendo everything was hovering around 40 to 50 And so it literally is absurd that it's only $70 now two decades later is kind of insane. I remember when we were first going to go get on a new TV, it was so expensive. And I'm not buying this right now. And then like five months later, everyone, we had one day everyone, my grandma came back

and everyone in the house got a new TV. It was like everyone got like a new television because they were all like so much cheaper than they were. It's crazy when the prior four months ago. Like I bought like this 3D TV Remember 3D televisions Everybody was like here's a 3D television

Everybody was trying to sell those And everybody was like I'm not getting a 3D time It sounds so stupid That sounds so What I want a 3D television for And people still didn't buy them People didn't buy them so much

They stopped them making those kinds of televisions That incurred TVs and shit Like a lot of them Avatar was a big thing for that 100% Like that was Like for what purpose I don't know

It's immersion. They got like a good deal on it. So it was like the same price as like everything else that they would have bought. So they were like, oh, fuck it, we'll get a 3D TV. Might as well. And I used it like, I used it like maybe three times. I think the original Halo Combat Evolved Remaster had a 3D implementation with it for 3D TVs at that time. That's how like big 3D TVs were that they were expecting it to be like a big thing for video games.

And it was neat. But like, I don't know, man. You're never just going to be. You're never going to beat a flat screen just showing you what you want to see. Right. That's kind of the problem that VR has right now where it's like you're just not... VR is cool. It's neat.

But until you make it as convenient as just turning on a screen, it's never going to take off in the way that it needs to. Like, it's just never going to do it. I have a VR headset and I barely use it. Right. That's crazy to me. If I was in the 90s, if you told me in like when I was like, 10. If you told me when I was like seven years old, like, oh, hey, dude, you're going to have a

virtual reality headset one day. And it's going to be really fucking cool. And there's going to be a lot of cool games on it. And you're never going to play it. That would sound unbelievable to me. Because I'd be like, dude, VR is so shit. Why wouldn't I play it? And you pews it. You're like, oh, this is why. Because I'd rather just turn the fucking TV on. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, it's a king, man. I tried VR. It was fine. And I was like, I don't really want this too much. And I was like, all right, cool. And I just never do it again, really.

I'm getting close. Yeah. I'm getting like, it's almost to the point where I'm, like, I'll be, I'll finally jump on board. There was a game that I saw that I think it might even still be in development. It was some type of Skyrim-looking game. I can't remember what it was called. But some dude, like, decapitates a guy.

He fucking jumps and does all these crazy fucking, like, basketball moves and dunks his head into a, into a basket. A basketball? Like a bucket. And I was like, that was the crazy. Oh, before he dunks it, he slaps the head too. So he's doing all these crazy, you know, through the legs and he slaps and then dunks it. And I was like, I almost got on my fucking computer.

I was like, it's time. I got to go. I got to get it. That shit's so wild. It's dope, man. It is cool. It's just a matter of like I can only play it for like 30 minutes before like it starts to feel like it's crushing my head. You know, it's so heavy.

And it's just like, it is honestly, like, I don't think. Like the free, it really is crazy the freedom that certain games in VR, like, apparently like some amazing RPG just came. Like, like a 10 out of 10 RPG just came out on VR. Like this like a couple days ago, Azura's wrath or something. And apparently it's like fucking incredible. Yeah. Wait, Azura's wrath that fucking old like 2012 game or 2013? I could be wrong on the name.

No, no, Azuris. No. Oh, I don't you mean like the gods. I know what you're talking about. I know exactly what you're talking about. I know that Jaylen loves that game, the game that you're talking about. I was literally thinking about that just like two days ago. I had a lot of fun with that game.

I had a lot of fun with it. I hate that game so much. It was just God of War, but not as good. It was just not as good God of War. It was so not God of War. No, the aesthetics were not the game, not the game. Oh, sorry. I think people, hold on, hold on.

So I got it, it's not Azura's wrath. It's Asgard's wrath. Asgard's wrath. There we go. Because I was thinking there was like Loki was involved. I was like, Emerging that game. Yeah.

Yeah. So apparently that's like a 10 out of 10 like amazing hardcore RPG like in VR and probably like the first first of its kind. So I am curious about that. But it's like, dude, RPGs are so long. And the idea of like spending 60 hours in a VR headset knowing that like every 30 minutes it's going to fuck with me.

It's kind of annoying. And it all comes down to the weight of that thing, man. Like they got to make it so light. It's imperceptible. And I think only then is it going to be really something that's probably 2030 then. Probably 2030. Yeah, probably, probably a while. It's cool, though, man, like bone works.

I stand by that game so hard because there's freedom in that game. The freedom that people talk about experiencing with Baldersgate is that kind of freedom, where it's like, oh, I can literally, like, beat this guy up, shove him in a locker, pick up a crowbar and lock him in the locker, like putting it through the fucking hold of the handles. And then I could just laugh at him. Or I could, like, throw somebody in a dumpster and, like, throw a grenade in there, and then hold the lid shut so we can't get out in like real time. It's like it's the funniest shit that I've ever experienced.

And there's some great Spider-Man. The second there's an amazing Spider-Man game in VR, I'm, you're not. Oh, yeah, that show would be crazy. Seeing me. Because I, you don't even have to make like a full-fledged Spider-Man game for it to be fun, I think. If you just made like, hey, here's a city, go web swing. And it functions fucking realistically and it's, and it's dope. that's enough for me, man.

I'll pay $100 for that. Because I've had to have a dream for years. Beating up Mary Jane? That's sick-ass. Beating up Mary Jane's assed about the city, bro. Wooping the shit of right, does. Just webbing someone off the street. Webbing someone off the street and then just swinging with them,

just basically abducting them and be like, hey, you're mine now. Swing as high as you can and let them go. Yeah, just take them. up to the top of the Empire Stable. You could do that in Spider-Man 2. Like that's not the new one, the original, the original Spider-Man 2 for the Xbox and PlayStation. You could take, you could pick up a

guy who stole from like a newsstand. Yeah, you can't pick up regular people, right? You can't pick up villains. No, no, but villains, but villains, but villains is like, you know, gangsters or like, you know, petty, like, petty, like, petty, like,

you could pick up a, you could pick up a man who stole a girl's purse, take him to the, top of the Empire State building and throw him off and the game just let you do that and you would wait and you would wait and you would wait and then you would eventually see like the little XP happen

when he hit the ground and it was the funniest shit I'm sad that I get why but like I'm sad that and then no one doesn't happen like that you know off buildings do you have your little web thing that sticks them to the walls yeah it's lame I think like web shadow is like holy shit

I'm throwing people off buildings Yeah I think you could abuse people In Web of Shadows But I can't remember You could definitely abuse people I think that was like the last So I really remember

Yeah fucking people You tear Wolverine And a half in that game That game's fucking ridiculous That was such an insane moment I remember seeing that I'm being like What the fuck

Oh question Who did you Who did you Which pussy did you stick with Oh black cat Yeah Black Cat Yeah

I just wanted to make sure You guys were on the same page Because if this was a nor Because I think it's like if it was just a normal Spider-Man game You wouldn't even have that option So like immediately I was like yes I'm all in on Black Cat Because no game lets you do this

Why the fuck would I go to Mary Jane Like every other game in the fucking I don't even think for this character I don't even like Black Cat's personality at all She's a thieving bitch But she's hot bro I ain't talking to her I ain't talking to her that fucking

We ain't talking ever She's hot you're just talking. Yeah. You're like, come pick up Wolverine. Afterwards. I'm like,

this motherfucker rip Wolverina. First of all, Hulk came up Rubyene and half. How to fuck Spider-Man on a bad day

going to rip him in half? But okay, I guess it's web of shadows. That's what it is. Yeah, I mean, whatever. It's like,

the power scaling doesn't really matter. It's weird with shadows. Let's just see where this goes, man. All right. Let's hit them questions, finally,

man. Let's hit them, let's hit them questions. Hit them holiday. Is this a regular episode? This episode of, What's we call? This is a normal episode.

What are you talking about? That's why I said the N-word so much. No, you didn't say the hard R. You didn't even say it particularly all that more than you normally do. What are you talking about? I would have caught that. If you did say it during the Wolverine thing, I think I'm pretty sure you had soft A. Even though I wanted to use the hard R because it goes better with berserker.

I was like, but inward barrage. But barrage, you know, like. Gene It is amazing how desensitized I am. If you did say it, I didn't hear it at all. Like, not even slightly. Yeah, I got to go back and make sure, because that would be funny if I didn't,

I didn't notice it either if you did say it. It doesn't matter. But Ryan. What are they going to do? What are they going to do? Tell Kingston that he can't say it. Yeah, that's very true. That is actually very true.

Let's move on to some questions. Let's move on to some questions from our. from our wonderful patrons over at Patreon.com slash a Snark Tank. Remember, you can go on over there, throw us a, throw us a penny or two, and then you can ask a question to get on the show. There's some extra ammo episodes there. We're going to do one very, very soon about, we're going to make our own snark tank theme park that I'm really fucking excited.

We had a really... It actually might be out already by the time you hear this. Yeah, it might be out by the time you're hearing this. Yeah, whatever. But we did another one of where he wrote The Gears of War movie that I think is really fucking fun. I don't know. We do some cool shit over there. They're also in a playlist that is completely easy to access. So

pay attention to that as well. If you're popping over there specifically looking for that. Anyway, our first homeless person, our homeless fan, Rodin, says, hey there, Chris Derek and Sweeney. What are your least favorite Christmas songs and can the three of you create

a better, more ridiculous one? Happy Holidays Riley. I don't know about creating one right up to bat. That might be it's no extra ammo. 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 quantum? By 2029, we'll build the first fault-tolerant quantum computer. That is one that can run a very, very large, large problem. To learn how IBM is building the future of computing, visit IBM.com slash quantum. All right, quick quiz for the hiring managers out there.

A lot of people were asking about, oh, are you guys going to do that Grinch song? And the answer is no, because we kind of found out that Joel Haver, who's like a great YouTube content creator, kind of did almost the, not exactly the same thing, but close enough to the point where it's like,

I would be kind of redundant or like, it would be kind of, it would really serve no purpose. Yeah, because that's a great, it's a great video. It's animated. It's hilarious. It's almost exactly what I'd imagine. I'd imagine it differently, but I mean, you know, the idea is just not as vulgar.

Pretty much. That's the major difference. It doesn't crescendo in the same way, and it doesn't crescendo for the same reasons. But it's generally the same premise. And I don't know, it just doesn't feel. It just doesn't feel that funny, man. It just, it's too. If we never, if we know, now that we know, is it's like.

And I'm going to say it's the viewer's fault. You, the listeners. because some people shared it. That's how I became aware of it. If y'all didn't share that shit, I don't. I mean, I'm glad they did, because I've definitely seen that video before in passing.

So, like, I definitely wouldn't have wanted to do anything that would, like, rip anybody off. But I just wanted to mention that before we answer this question. So the least favorite Christmas songs, or can the three of us create a better one? Do you have an answer? Yeah. Oh my God, yes

I used to work I used to work for the coals In the back where we would like distribute all the bullshit Retail Yeah, dude And me and my friend We used to work there And this every fucking few hours

It was this I don't even know what the song's called It's probably called Hey Santa But it's kids fucking singing it It's kids Kids Kids singing is the fucking worst And it's like hey Santa

Hey Santa Santa. And we had to hear this every fucking day. And it was, and then it was to the point where we started replacing the words with Hey, N-word, and we tried to spice it up a little bit. Just, uh, it's, it is. We tried to spice it up a little bit. Right.

Call it, Hey, nigger. Hey, nigger. Just imagine these small little white kids singing that shit. Uh, yeah, it's, it's, in my opinion, if you hear it, then you would be like, oh, yeah, this is definitely. in the worst song. I can't stand this shit. Don't go, don't even go listen. Don't even go hear it. It's not

worth hearing. I understand that. I remember working retail during holidays and it was, I can't even that retail ruined so many songs that like I was surprised to find out people liked. Like there's a lot of Mariah Carey songs that people like and a lot of

Beyonce songs that people like that I'm like, I can't believe people like that because this is retail. I can't stand Beyonce now because of retail. I can't stand her. I'm not even joking when I say that. And what's crazy is that I understand she's a fantastic musician. Like as a singer, she is an

unbelievably good singer. Whitney Houston was another one where that was completely fucking like. That's crazy. I can't hate a way to see. I'm every, I'm every woman played every three minutes at Sears. To the point where it's like I can't, I, I don't like these people.

You know what's crazy? I like that song a lot. I like I'm every woman a lot. I bet you do. I bet you do because you didn't have to fucking... You don't have to listen to that song, Derek? It, it's... I heard it probably just as much, not because of retail was actually...

Because I worked in a handful of retail stores. Yeah, I heard it, wait. I like some of her deeper cuts because of the very reason you're talking about, I heard them less. That's kind of like what my mom would play. Some songs. I've heard a ton growing up

But I still very much so enjoyed Like I heard I heard freaking Um Alicia Elisha Keyes No one Oh no I still like falling by Elisa

That song fucking awesome I think Tony Tony I forgot what it's called Um I keep them falling Secrets Secrets Which is like

What you call it Um By who What is it Oh Secrets With you Yeah, I don't know

Retail runs a lot of songs Falling Or falling or whatever At least it's only two fucking chords The entire song It's really cool Yeah She was like

She was young and she was on fire Roe she was such a good Like she just had a understanding of music That was like wild For someone her age at that time Where like a lot of Where that genre was dying But she was still driving.

She was probably my second celebrity crush The first it was Alia, and then I think then once Alia, you know, explode who didn't like, Leah? Who didn't like, like, like, I had to let her go, though. Before I understood about her music, I saw Queen of the Dam. And I was like, fuck. I was just like, that's hot.

So Queen of the Dam, saw fucking her music video for, it's still my favorite music videos. We need a resolution. No, no, no, no. For me was Rock the Boat. That was my shit, bro. See, Rock the Boats fucked up because that came after out if she died, because she died literally on the way to she was filming.

Yeah, yeah. So that she died involved with filming that video because the plane was too loaded and it crashed. But we need to go watch We Need a Resolution. It's basically it's just hypnotic. The music hypnotic, she's doing all this dumb shit with her hands. She's basically, if you're, if you watch that, you're, it awakens you. It's an awakening. It's a spiritual, it's a spiritual event.

Rock. Yeah. We are getting on a tangent though. Oh, yeah, 100%. Yeah. So, Christmas. So much. Christmas.

It is about Christmas. It is about Christmas. I think all I got to say, all of a Christmas is due is kind of annoying. It's annoying. But like, I got to say that I think genuine, not the most annoying necessarily,

but the worst Christmas song I've ever heard is that fucking Christmas shoes song. I sincerely, exactly, exactly. I never heard this fucking song until maybe the last two years when people were talking to me about it.

This was never a staple in my, I never heard it at like, a on like a Christmas play or pageant or like any of these What are you doing? What song are you on about? Christmas shoes? Recite some of it. I couldn't

because I didn't grow up it. It feels like a Mandela effect thing where people are like, oh yeah, you don't play all the Christmas classics. Jingle Bell, Christmas shoes. You're like, what? Christmas shoes.

And you look it up and it's fucking horrible. Christmas shoes I'm putting it out right now to see you if you're right right over like Christmas shoes Christmas shoes Mother fucking Christmas shoes Christmas shoes I can't even

Christmas shoes my nigga It's literally about like some person getting shoes for Christmas That's not a real Christmas song It is No it's not What about a What about

Have you heard this one? Have you heard the famous Louis Armstrong one What The Louis Armstrong one? Have you heard the Christmas shoes? No You be

Ha ha ha ha Yeah No It's uh It's called It's called So the song he says Is that you Santa Claus

But the song is called Zat you Like It just It completely takes out Is And then it just Apostrophe Zat

Zat you Santa Claus He's like That you Santa Claus That she used to play all the time too When I was working at Coles. And all I remember

that's crazy. You know what song is crazy, but I love it? It's an insane song. This song is an insane song. Oh, ho, ho,

he, he. Cats who's covered all Christmas Eve? Ha ha. That song is bananas. Like, that song

could jokerize somebody. If you play it to someone that's going through a tough time, they'll turn into a killer. It's a killer. It's, it's,

it's, disturbing it kind of. It'll transform you. Like, you'll be listening to that song and you'll slowly start melting away and who you were before will disappear. So what is actually, let's flip it. What is your favorite Christmas song? You know what's crazy? My favorite is burrito sabanero.

That is my favorite Christmas song, actually. Yeah. I don't know. The late, uh, the, uh, the, the, the title doesn't do anything for me. I don't hear anything used to the title. It's a banerero a Camino, Seh me bien, si me bien, si me dem et sabarito si be it.

It's simply because of the fact my grandma likes that song and they always play it around Lily's house for Christmas time. I love it. Yeah, I definitely heard that song before. I didn't recognize it by name. But I think, I don't know, I have two, which might be cheating,

but whatever. They are the only two that I regard even really highly. I think certain classics like Jingleball Rock fine or whatever like it's whatever like i feel completely it's not bad yeah i understand them they work uh they don't really do much for me but like i'm i'm happy to it's fine but i i like felice navidad there's something it's just simple i like the cords i was jamming out to that shit the other day it's fun it's weirdly fun on the radio i don't know to it i don't know why it's as fun to play as it is but it kind of is and so it's it's felice navidad for obvious reasons

uh, Hispanic reasons. And then Carol of the Bells I think is low key metal as hell. Like there's something about Carol of the Bells that sounds ominous. And I love it.

That's metal as fuck. The Carol of the Bells, the Carol of the Bells like, Carol of the Bell is metal? No, you don't, you don't understand. Is that the word?

Like, I'm, I'm really confused because I was like, really is that a metal? Like, is that a hardcore song? If you can't, If you can't, if you can't understand what makes that song so fucking cool, I can't help you. I really can't. It sounds like a fucking Halloween song.

Like it doesn't sound Christmassy at all. It sounds like like operatic and fucking weird. And then what really made me love it, what really made me appreciate it was Home Alone because they had like a re, they had like, almost like a, not a remix because that's not really the right word, but like a kind of a re-instrmentation integrated into the original score for Home Alone during. It's called setting the trap, but it's like a version of Carol the Bell's for Home Alone, and it's the scene where like, it's that famous scene where he like, where he cooks the mac and cheese and he like sits there

and then the alarm clock goes off and then he leaves it. It always piss me off because it looks so delicious that mac and cheese. He goes and that re-enstmentation of Carol the Bell's plays and it's fucking sick. It's so cool. That they're using in that song

is it translates to a metal, like, If you were to put in Carol the Bell's metal cover, it's probably, there's probably a thousand of them. I was, I was Miss Underbred running a song. I know what the song is. It's definitely like a very old school,

like, that's a fucking pre-down right there. It's a fucking creepy Christian song. It's got, it reminds me of, it reminds me of like Castlevania in, in the wintertime.

You know what I mean? Like, there's something, there's something so ominous about it. It reminds me of, it reminds me of, uh, it reminds me a lot of like the intro of, if you guys ever played, this is a very specific reference, but like the intro to Fable

too has like this really great kind of sweeping kind of Christmas ominous kind of tone to it too. And it's like it's so, it's very emblematic of that. And it's, I don't know, man. Carroll the Bell's is dope. 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?

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. 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.

Yeah, because it's just there. There are certain songs you hear and you're like, oh, this is designed for metal. They're like, this is, this is it. Yeah. That's what I felt when Sam Smith did that on Holy. I was like, oh, I hear it. I hear how exactly how this would translate to a rock or metal song. Yeah, that's 100% that.

I'm not a metalhead, so definitely some of that gets wasted on me, unfortunately. Yeah. You know, reminds me a little bit, too. It reminds you a little bit of Nightwish. You know? Nightwish? Yeah, fair enough. Sahara, Sahara by Nightwish, I would start off with like the bells, kind of.

I don't know. Yeah, fair enough. That's cool. Yeah, that's an awesome song. And so, yeah, that's a very, and Felice Navidot. I'm actually, I'm debating on, uh, I was actually debating on just covering that that song. I was like, you know, I just covered it.

Why not? Yeah. It's a fun song. I still might do it, but it's just more about time. There's, yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, other than that, it's Jingle Bell Rock. Jinglebrook is a classic.

The song is fucking goaded. I love it so much. People don't like it, and I'm like, I don't get how people don't love that song. Is this such a good song to put on? Yeah. Because that's stuff. That starts the... And Noel.

Noel, we're putting Sinatra's cover of Noel. I love that song. I don't know why. I think you've actually heard Sinatra's cover of Noel. I think that's the only one people, most people have heard. I know Sinatra's cover in my aunts. There's like choir, yeah, chorus, exactly. I know my sonatra sings that song and then my aunt sings that song very well.

That's the only two versions of the song I know. But, Noel, I love that song. do you also have an aunt that is suspiciously really good at singing that has not bothered to use that at all my aunt Eva is so good at singing it's insane yeah she's not a stage too

she's a fucking she has a business background that is just as true as aunts um having uh angelic voices is just as true as you have a perverted uncle yeah goes hand in hand yeah

something about it my aunt She can sing. She can shake a room with her voice. And it's just like, I don't know why you're so good at it. And my grandma can't sing at all. My grandma is the worst singer I've heard in person in my life. My grandma's tone death.

She cannot sing at all. That is such a problem. The phenomenons I see with people that are actually tone death is versus a person that has, like, say, a perfect pitch is it's, it is so fascinating to see. where I even remember trying to guide my friend Phil it was rapping we're just doing rapping so it wasn't even like he needed really be on key but it was just he could not

stay on beat it made no sense to him but if you did it with him he could do it and it reminded me of me trying to draw a face just by looking at it versus tracing where it's like okay I can trace this motherfucker I cannot draw a face

by looking at it like if I just even though it's right in front of me and I'm like all right let me do it it just turns out wrong it just will turn out wrong it's it's fucking crazy like some people have it some people don't man you know it's crazy I just realized it's it's terrible thought about this I hadn't thought about this in a long time but for whatever reason it's totally real because I watched this movie recently because I think it's I think it's such a movie is such a fever dream have you ever seen Jack Frost with um yes of course with Michael Keaton with Michael Keynes, where he becomes the snowman.

And he has that transformation sequence that seems like a fucking panic attack. There's a scene in that... Dude, it's just whooshing around him. I posted a video to Twitter of that scene with, like, breaking Benjamin playing in the background. And it weirdly fucking... But there's a scene in that movie where it's like really fucking sad where, like, Michael Keaton dies. Spoilers for Jack. Frost. But Michael Keaton dies in that movie and like it's just this his son sitting in the snow sad while like Fleetwood Max landfill plays or that not landfill, landslide. And that song is like a Christmas song to me now because I associated with that movie, even though it's the most depressing song I think I've probably ever heard in my life.

So that's a weird association that I have with it. But I hate, I'm. Can I say something, too? A moratorium on Santa Baby. I hate that fucking song. I hate that disgusting fucking... Making Christmas horny is so weird. Like, I don't... Yeah, trying to fuck the show of Santa.

Yeah, it's gross. It's fucking crazy. It's... Come in my throat tonight. Make Halloween horny. That's like totally... It's almost perfectly suited for it, okay? Leave Christmas alone.

I don't... Making holidays horny is so weird, man. It's really chill about. Halloween makes more sense to me. Because at least this costume, you know, Halloween costumes and horny nurses and shit. It's awesome. Nah, bro. Just take women out the equation in general, bro.

All male society. Yeah. Utopia. We didn't advance so far until we got, I wonder if we're going to fuck. Then that'd be the problem a little for a little baby. A bunch of wars. Dick nuts, ready. They'd be good.

I'm going to cut you off. Hello, Carlin Pryor and Murphy. Hello, Colin Pryor and Murphy. Have any of you heard of the new movie? The American Society of Magical Negroes. Yes, I swear. It's real. Look it up.

Please be well, Snark Boys. I don't know what. So I know what the premise is, right? I understand that that's a trope, right? But I don't know what this movie is about. Apparently it's just not very good, which is, you know. So what happened was I thought it was going to be like Harry Potter for niggas. But apparently it's about Negroes that managed to keep white people from not losing their minds.

minds. Yeah, it was, it wasn't, I was hoping that it had no political undertones when I heard the name and I was like, ah,

well, you know, there you go. There you go. Because I, I think we, I think I remember being specifically disappointed

on the podcast. I think I looked it up, a trailer or something. And, uh, yeah. It's like a comment. I mean it's ruined it for me.

I thought it's going to be like a whimsical, like, oh, this is black with magic and it's some wild shit. Like you're going to go to Atlanta and they're going to be making like magical lean and shit.

And I'm like, this is fucking funny. But apparently, no, it was just like, oh, in this world, we're here to, like, make sure the white men doesn't lose their mind. We have to be uptight and upstart Negroes to keep the whites from going crazy, which even magic can't do that. It's just in their blood. So that's just going to happen no matter what. Okay. Whoa.

I go on to Alex Jonesesk rant about why white people are bad. But it makes sense a little bit. There's a little bit of it that is like, oh. Yeah, I don't really have much else to say about it. I haven't seen the movie. It was kind of lame. I thought it was like you. I haven't even seen.

I haven't even gotten a chance to see movies that I want to see, which is actually kind of brings us into our next thing. Silk Song Believer. He says, yo, gay men. Have you seen Godzilla minus one? And is it the movie? No, I really want to see it, though. I haven't fucking seen it yet.

And I want to see it. I saw it day one. It's fucking awesome. awesome yeah dude i i i want to see it i also want to see shin godzilla because i heard that was a wild fucking i heard that was a weird fucking movie shin godzilla's insane so maybe i i think i might watch shin today and then to at some point during the week i'll i'll go see godzilla because i do want to see it i've got this weird just go do it already i know i know it's it's just it's this weird thing where it's like

godzilla's one of those things where it's like i like it but i'm not like i wouldn't say i'm like, I would feel like a complete poser saying, like, oh, yeah, I'm a fan of Godzilla. I haven't sat through, like, every single Godzilla movie. I like the general concept of, like, giant monsters fighting. You know what I mean? Like, I like, I like, I like, I like, the origins of it and how it's, like, inspired by, like, the, you know, an allegory for, like, nuclear war. I think it's fucking dope as shit.

But I've never, like, sat down and watched, like, you know, Godzilla versus Mecca Godzilla all the way through because, like, I get it, you know, like, I, and that's exactly why. Yeah, go ahead. I was just going to say, I think this movie's perfect for a person who's casually a fan of, of Godzilla. I think it's because it's not what you, it's not like, say, what I'm particularly looking for. Like, say, I'm a kaiju freak where I just, I love giant kajus and mecks fucking fucking each other up. So it just, it grounds it in a way that you don't have to think like, you know, somebody might be going to this.

This is going to be so fucking gay And then it's like, oh, this is actually a real movie This is awesome. So like, it's great. The thing that soured me on it, the thing that soured me on it was the only Godzilla movie that I made the leap to see Was the one that I really shouldn't have made the leap to see. And I think everybody knows which movie that is.

98, 2015 one? It's the one with Brian Cranston because I remember being like, holy 14. Brian Cranston in a Godzilla movie, that sounds sick. And then he dies 10 minutes in. Who's in that? Yeah, Quicksilvers in it. Aaron Taylor Johnson, I think. Maybe. I may be wrong.

I don't know. Is somebody like that, though? Yeah. And it was fucking terrible. Like, they, and I was, it was extremely underwhelming. They killed him in like the first 10 minutes. I'm like, what? I have to follow this other fucking loser with no charisma now.

This sucks. If you're going to have people, this thing, it's like the people, I get why the people are in a Godzilla movie, like I kind of want to see the monster shit. So like if you're going to have a person in the movie, my God, you can't, I can't think of a better person than Brian Granson. He's just so easy to watch. And then you get rid of him in the first 10 minutes and you're like, oh, well, shit, no one's going to match this.

And you're totally right. The whole movie, no one comes close. And you're just like, oh my God, just go back to the monster, please. And even that stuff is kind of wonderful way. I love the last half an hour of every Godzilla movie. Every God's a movie. That last half an hour. The person one was trash.

The King of the Monsters is fucking dope. I thought they did a much better job. 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 Quantum? By 2029, we'll build the first fault-tolerant quantum computer. That is one that can run a very, very large, large problem.

Um, the, fucking Kong versus Godzilla is perfect for like, say if you're a freak like me that just

loves, like the, I think, I think the 20, the 20, the 2014 one was cool at the end, bro. That's not good enough. When he went nuclear, when he was burning everything around him and he's not that mega bee. I thought that shit was sick as fuck. If I, I can't, I can't watch literally a movie that has 14 minutes of Godzzi. in it. It's something stupid like that. It's something... It's less than half an hour, I'm pretty sure. It's way less than half an hour. It's something asinine

to where I'm like, I can't believe they did this to us. I can't believe they did this. Godzilla is in Godzilla is in that movie more than Venom is in Spider-Man too. Which is crazy. But...

But... Is he really? No, Venom's in Spider-Man too for a decent chunk? Is he? Not much longer, not much longer than that. He is in there longer. I'm joking.

He's in a decent chunk. I feel like people's like, like he's in there for, he's in there for half an hour. Max. Half an hour, really? Yeah. I mean, he's in, he's at play for more than it.

But like he's, he's not on screen for more than like 20 something, 30 minutes. Which in like a 20 hour game is kind of nice. That's the same as Doc Ock as Doc Ock in the last one, you know? No, Dr. Rackapas had a pretty strong presence the whole time. But as,

as Doc Ock, not as Otto Octavius. No, but even Venom doesn't have that presence at all until like he We're, this is secondary. I love Godzilla. I love they had Gondora in it. I fucking love King Gidora.

That's my favorite kaiju. Everything was a little kid. Even when MF Doom took the name King Gidora, that's when I first found out about him. And Monk was like, oh yeah, this is this really cool dragon from space. And I was he from space and he has three heads. He was like, yeah, look, he's Gidora, and he gave me a toy of him, and I fucking tried to eat it.

And that was, like, one of my founding memories. I was like, this is sick. I like this guy. And he was in the movie, so I was happy. Even though he got fucking cucked, they cucked my boy Gidora. Stupid. Is King Giedora? The preheaded dragon? Yeah, the space dragon, yeah.

Yeah, that's just cool. Gidora's so fucking sick, dude. I had a a giant, like, toy. and I played my first show at this venue chain reaction and I mounted it to the kit and it's my only, it was a terrible fucking show but the only thing that I like is seeing footage

of a young me with this fucking Godzilla on the throne and I was like, oh, I love this. I love that I did this and if I didn't do that there would be absolutely no reason to ever reminisce on this footage or pictures or anything because that was fucking ass. It was, I mean, but what do you expect when you're, when you're a kid, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're proud of the music you made, but

and you ignore that it's absolute dog shit, you know? It's like one of those things. Yeah. I guess like anything else. Like, if you have art, you draw or something and it's like not as, it's not as good as, you know, your parents might see, like, oh, it's great. And, you know, they know it's fucking awful. It's fucking terrible.

But yeah. Don't lot of your kids, man. Or just never stop. Don't have kids, y'all. Don't have kids. Tell them everything they do with shit. Either never lie to your kids, or don't stop lying to them. Lide of them about absolutely everything.

I like that. Yeah. I like that. Walter White, Walter White wrote in. He says, hello, Chris, Derek, and fuck you, Sweeney. Jesus.

Hostility here. So unnecessary. What moment is the most jaw-dropping this year? In my opinion, it was the Kanye shit. Well, the Kanye shit was more last year, wasn't it? Am I misremembering that? No. No, that happened this year.

What happened? Oh, wait, no, you're right. All of it happened this year? I mean, I know more of it happened this year, but like, maybe hold on. Him going on Alex Jones. Yeah, hold on Alex Jones might have been last year. Maybe it was early. That was, Kanye.

No, that was this year. That was this year. It was this year, wasn't it? That was early this year. Why do I, no, but. Kanye West. That feels like a long. That feels like a long time ago.

No, because I think my PC was not in, like, this space when that happened. Yeah, so, okay, so here it is. Ye makes anti-Semitic comments on Info Wars December 2nd, 2022. So that was like at the crail end of last year. So what does he do. What has happened lately with him? Because I feel like at the same time, that was the big thing that happened. No, he did the Candace Jones White Lives Matter shit this year.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That wasn't as crazy. Yeah, he did the, in Paris where he was doing that shit or something. Yeah. What is it, what is it called when he does that? That Paris thing that he does? That doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.

And he recently came back. I have not paid attention to the context of everything where I haven't seen any video footage. I only heard some of the podcasts I listened to. I just audio version. So I don't know what he was doing or. But yeah, he went on more rants, I guess. More anti-Semitic rants, I guess. Another manic episode.

What are the most jaw-dropping? Hello, hello. I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of Smart Talk. with IBM. I recently spoke with IBM's new director of research, Jake Embatta.

What makes me so sad about that is that people have him on their shows, right? Having these episodes and it's just like how like it's all for money for these people. They don't give a fuck about his well-being at all. Of course.

Of course. You don't know about as well being on all. And it's like this is someone having a manic episode and you push a mic in front of their face. Yes. Because they know it's going to get millions of views. You can see this person having this episode. Like you're witnessing, your eyes are open You are a human

Seeing another human go through a moment And instead of being like This is not the right time to do this No, it's the perfect time That's the thing No no no For a human For a human having a heart, no

Right But if you're money grubbing pieces of shit Yeah absolutely Exactly that's why it's like There's no surprise or nothing It's like of course they would do that Of course Tim Poole would host Of course fucking drink champs would host

Like of course Fucking Nori piece of shit Noriega. I used to be such a best I used to have so much respect for Noriega bro. That shit broke my heart. As a New Yorker that loves hip hop Noriega was one of the godfathers of that shit bro.

Norie respect. Nori demanded respect when he walked into a room because of what he did for hip hop. Now I can't I can't even I can't even watch it anymore as I'm like that was such a fuck thing you did to him dude. Kanye is looking at me. Let's go.

Yeah so uh, So I'm looking at some of these stories, right? So obviously the topless meta on Twitch happened. I show speed flashing his dick. That was hilarious. That was pretty wild. I think the NPC kind of the TikTok NPC stuff, that's Seinfeld AI, becoming self-aware, the big Las Vegas sphere. I think honestly, the big thing that happened this year that sticks out to me, not necessarily because I think it's real or anything, but because it was just so ridiculous.

ridiculous and it made me laugh when I heard about it was the fucking Mexican aliens. That shit was funny. The Mexican alien shit was so damn funny because that little fucking guy they put around was like, look at this Mexican alien. And it's so clearly not real. Yeah, that was awesome. But everyone was fucking talking about it. I just want somebody to want someone to make something that's not a gray.

Like how fucking lazy are you? What if they are like that, though? Huh? What if they are like that though? Like what if what if aliens are just a little gray man? That wouldn't make any That that's the them being But then how would we

So illogical it's so illogical them being that way It's just Why? What are you talking about? Wait, why? Because why how the fuck would an alien on in a different planet So far away from us Have a similar like phenotype to us

That's insane We don't that's like why would they have any anywhere near a similar build to us. They'd be fucking so wild looking. I don't even notice. That's actually what bothered me about Mass Effect Indromeda, where I was like, oh,

hopefully they come with it. They didn't even try. They were just lame as shit aliens in Andromeda. They saw them. It sucked so bad. And then there was like two species and one of them, and it turns out they were the same fucking species,

but they were genetically altered. I was like, I can't believe they did that. I can't believe they did that. They had so many opportunities to make some wild shit. There was one cool thing in there. It was like a flying whale, which looked awesome. And that's it. And I was like, wow, cool guys.

Like, think of Krogan's and Turtians and shit like that, right? The fact that a Krogan looks as much as a human as it does is still illogical. That is still in itself way too similar. Okay, to be, we're in the same galaxy. I'll excuse that. We're still in the same in the Milky Way. whatever the way I'm okay with that

I'm okay with humanoids existing in all across the galaxy once we get into another galaxy that is so inconceivably far away and I'm like man what how did things what's gonna go on over there oh humanoids cool you know they chose humanoid right

because you won't care about things that aren't humanoid that's the reason why they have to be humanoid and they won't give a fuck about anything else It's it. We won't. Because no, because, like, say, the El Cor. I love the Elkhore in Mass Effect. They're so, like, not, like, they're these.

What is the Elkhore again? They're like, they're almost like elephants. Like, they're so these big creatures that have no emotions. And they have to announce to you how they feel because they have, like, with, with pleasure, it is nice to see you again. You know, and like they, they, like, they're like those big fucking, like, they're like these big. They're on on fours They're in the citadel, right? Yeah, they're in the citadel.

Yeah, that's where you first see it in the citadel. They are so fucking funny. I want to I want to play through the original Mass Effects again. Do it. I haven't done it in a while. I tried the first game that I kind of softlocked myself. I fucked myself up. I walked into a door that I walked into a door that I shouldn't have

and then they immediately were like, you're hostile for walking into this door. And I'm like, I'm sorry. And then I didn't have a save. so I like I just let and I didn't know how to fix it so I just let it go but I might I might play through them again

I really miss I love Mass Effect so much man it's so good I wasted money on buying the legendary edition because I played through the first one just because I want to see the changes and that's it and I'm like well I could have waited to do this instead of paying $60 you know whatever it sends a message of what people want you know you're right you're right

it should support them even though even though, you know, kind of, yeah. Yeah, I love, the Elkhore are pretty cool. I don't know. I think, I don't know. I don't know if it's that illogical that like some alien would look somewhat like us. Like, I think it's completely fine.

It's a super stretch. I just more wonder what they'd look anything like us. I just more want to believe. Go ahead, try it. Well, I'm just saying in order for me to really believe that, I would have to have somebody like, I don't know, fucking Stephen Hawking. or somebody like that be like, is this unreasonable?

And if like I would probably just defer to their expertise. I see. We're here only because of so many random circumstances that happened to this planet. That series of random extinction leveled events made it so we could be here. The dinosaurs evolving. Because it's possible to it.

Because it could have possibly happened to other places. The same similar way. The universe is so vast that like it could have possibly happen to other places where they could literally just be like obstinatively human somewhere else after a series of similar freak situations?

Well, I think the real thing is like, is it even illogical? Not that there are aliens, but is it illogical that there are aliens in the way that there are in science fiction? Because I think like there's a big kind of I don't know what the term for it is. I think there's a name for this theory, but there's an idea that

like societies never become spacefaring because before they can, they destroy themselves. So, like, there are probably many, many, many advanced civilizations that have existed and probably will exist throughout time, but they've never really gone anywhere because the amount of technology it would take to do that also kind of begets the technology to destroy themselves. Like nuclear energy and just famine and war. Sci-fi 101.

Yeah. Really? Right. And it's like sci-fi 101. They always create AI and then they fucking kill everyone. Which is totally, which to me makes a lot of sense. That makes sense as to why we haven't seen anything or we haven't gotten really any information about anything else that exists. It would make a lot of sense to me that like, yeah, by the time we even get the technology to even remotely do that shit, we probably just fuck each other up and ruin everything.

Or just the amount of resources that you would have to extract from the world that you're on to even get to the point that you can go spacefaring dooms the planet. and then you're just kind of fucked. Like, I could believe that. And that would make mass effect in general impossible. So I think the liberties taken there are just like, hey, you know what, let's assume that that doesn't happen. Because what I assume is this, right? What I assume is that I don't think that most species get wiped 100%. I feel like things don't get reset to zero first race, races.

I think if that would happen, there would be something that would just leave beforehand. this is what happened. Why would you assume that? Why would you assume that? Because I feel like a species that's intelligent enough to completely nuke itself is also intelligent enough to be like, we got to get the fuck out of here before we are all gone at the same time. I think they can try, but it's just a matter of whether or not they can succeed

and how likely that. Because there's evidence to suggest that Mars has like evidence of like of an earthlike, like the remnants of an earthlike atmosphere or like the remnants of earthlike, like there's riverbeds. There's evidence of like riverbeds and all this all this stuff and like microbes and shit and like vegetation that used to be there Implying that Mars could have been like many many many many many many many many many million years ago An earthlike place with its own kind of ecosystem and its own like you know civilizations that is now just kind of completely gone Which would imply that everything that's on Mars is completely fucking gone

Like zero now because they fuck I don't I guess This is all hyper like it's possible that I can't I can't 100% say yes or no for Obviously, we can't. This is all about anything, none of us are smart enough to even Rowley. Like, we don't, this is not an expertise study.

It's just possible. I just wish that aliens look like aliens, you know, I want to see an alien. I want to throw up after seeing it. I'll be like, dang, that's interesting.

Well, see, that's the thing where it's, it's more of, except into the, that's what I wanted to say originally, that I wish that people would try harder

to imagine something that, like, like say you would, and you would probably need, you'd probably need experts to help you envision, okay, how would something look that that was not carbon-based that, say, that evolved on this type of setting? How do you think they could evolve and what would it look like? Would we even be able to tell that it is actually a creature?

Like stuff like that. And to get me to a point where that actually kind of spooks me and sends a chilled down my spine where I'm like, oh shit, what is that? But then they just choose that gray shit. I'm like, stop. Because like, yeah, okay, what, for the sake of argument? Something like that could exist with the amount of fucking space is in the universe. Yeah, it is totally plausible for that something like that could happen. But we already know the origins of that shit. Hello, hello. I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of Smart Talks with IBM.

before the like the the uh with the 18th century and shit like that like 60s dude yeah like it's so it's just like they made that shit up that's crazy though I think that's fucking insane that they made it up there like aliens look like this it's like all right now everybody's aliens look like

and it just took off I mean I get it is that that's all you have to go off of when people sucked back then just just by default you didn't have any knowledge didn't have anything to go off of I do love that story about I do love that story about how, like, what is it?

Like, how our modern idea of ghosts is entirely, like, it's just entirely created by the original, like, how, like, how projectors used to work. Or, like, how they actually, like, had, you know, like, ghosts were never depicted as, like, translucent floating things. Right. Until, like, until, like, until they started making movies about him because that was, like, the only way that they could project them on. to the scene while making sense. It's really fucking weird. You're here, but you're not. It's insane.

It's insane to think about that too and think about like how ghosts in like other other cultures, like Christianity's the depiction of like spirits and other pictures of spirits is like pagans and Christianity is so like negative. But like everywhere else is like super positive. Like ghosts are like nice like all your ancestors are like looking after you. and they care about you and they're sticking around to help you make better decisions

and it's like, no, the devil. That's like a Harry Potter approach. Hell. That's the Harry Potter approach to ghosts where it's just like, hey, what's up? It's me. They're just chilling. Yeah.

I'm just chilling. Well, yeah, because it wasn't, I don't think the people, like the pagans that had beliefs back in the day, it wasn't, it was just a thing that that kind of developed naturally to explain some stuff

where then as modern day religions were once people started getting more crafty it was used as a tool to control people. So you gotta be scared of the dead they're bad. The reason why like hell and torture and certain things and why killing yourself you're gonna go to hell why those things are even a thing in the

first place. It's rules to control people. It's so obvious what do you like look into it's like why else would you do that? Why else would any of that shit make any sense? Like you can't do this shit or you're going to hell. I'm like, what? Why, why would a

benevolent entity ever do something like this? They're a fucking tyrant. They're an absolute fucking madman authoritarian. Why would mans be mean to me for no reason? Why would man's? And it's like, oh, I get what's happening. I get it. But don't, don't, don't piss on me

and tell me it's come. Come on, dude. Come on me. Can I? Can I? Come on me already. Come on. Come on. Come on. Me. Come in my face. Can I? Can I. In my face. my face right now. Just get me to come. Can I ask you guys a question? Just out of my own, out of my own curiosity. Yeah. Where do you guys stand on like cold pizza and like cold chicken?

Huh. Cold, cold chicken with sauce is delicious. Hmm. Cold fake pizza is decent. Cold real pizza sucks. that's exactly my stance it's it's it's the yeah the better the ingredients yeah the worst it is when it's cold that is that is absolutely true but uh since i'm gonna look that used to be my shit when i was a kid but now that i'm an adult that enjoys things a little bit finer uh even i will i'll take the time to toast or oven a pizza or something because it's pizza pizza is yeah pizza needs to be hot I think. Yeah, it's just better.

So it's like when I was a kid, I loved the, that you get up and waste no time eating. That was kind of like the point of being a kid. Sometimes just grabbing a craft single slice or grabbing the pizza from the box out of it like it just, and then go play. Like that was a, as an adult,

like that's not like it's, you know, even when I make a sandwich, I like to toast the bread. It's just better. It's just better when you butter and toast the bread. A nice toasted bread, bro. Some toasted be made little mayo on there.

Let the cheese melt. over the turkey. Honestly, I'm still kind of big on cold sandwiches. I don't normally toast the bread unless it's like a very specific I'm a fan. I'm a fan of cold sandwiches too. Like, don't get me. Cold cuts or the shit. It depends, dude. But it's the bread though.

Good, but a toasted one is better. God, a toasted, like, if you get like a French, go to Albertsons. Everyone, if there's an Albertsons in the area, get the French bread from Albertsons, butter that shit and toast it. I could survive off of that. I could be a peasant and live off of that for the rest of my life.

It's one of the best tasting things. things ever to me. Yeah, just be like, because you know, all you can do afford is bread. Yeah, but I'd be okay with that. Yeah, of course. Yeah, I, I, I, I, I, I, I love, I love hot chicken, man. Like, I love it. Yeah. But I've definitely, I have no issue ordering, ordering chicken, eating some of it, be like, I'm going to save the rest for later. I put it in the fridge. And then when I want it later, I'm just, I'm eating it out of the fridge. Jesus, I don't, he just fucking eat it. I really do not, chicken for whatever reason,

does not need to be hot at all for me. Obviously, initially, I'm not going to order cold chicken like a psycho. That'd be insane. It's like, hey, man, I want you to make me some chicken, but make sure it's cold by the time it gets here. No. I want to be fucking freezing. Put that shit in the freezer. Yeah.

Put that shit in the freezer for 10 minutes. And then send it my way. Oh, man. For me, it needs to have sauce. Chicken with sauce that's cold is good. I think that depends on the chicken. Most chicken abs to fucking lootly. But Gus's right out of the fridge is for some reason, I don't know what they do, but it's still juicy somehow when it's when it's in the fridge, even for like a full fucking day.

That's actually kind of concerning. That's concerning. I don't care, man. I don't know. Gus doesn't have time to make it to the fridge for me. It's kind of like, you know how there's cookies that are. It never makes it to the fridge. That's a good point, though.

Most of my fried chicken never makes it into the fridge. It is consumed. I specifically, I specifically save it for later. I specifically eat some of it and then I'll save it for later because then later I don't have to order a whole new thing or I don't have to cook or I don't have to eat. Yeah, you can also order more than you normally would. That's actually a good plan. That's what I do. Yeah, that's basically what I plan ahead.

I order more than I can eat for a meal and I save the rest for later because it's so fucking delicious. That makes sense. All right. Let's see. Let's get a few more in here. Hello, hello. I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of Smart Talks with IBM. I recently spoke with IBM's new director of research, Jake M. Beta.

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

Yeah, it's why I came to IBM. I wanted the experience, the culture of building hard things that others have not done before. Where do you imagine we are in the timeline of this technology? There will come a point when it will mature. My cell phone is a mature technology at this point. How far are we from that point? with quantum. By 2029, we'll build the first fault-tolerant quantum computer. That is one that can run a very,

very large, large problem. To learn how IBM is building the future of computing, visit IBM.com slash quantum. All right, quick quiz for the hiring managers out there. What's worse?

I'm on the pursuit of fat penis, and I know everything that's long ain't always going to be throbbing, Rodin.

He says, hello guacamole and past penises. Well, it's just nonsense. I'm sorry. Hold on. I'm sorry. What was... Okay. Yeah.

Like, is it supposed to be... Is it supposed to be like, okay. Okay, no, I'm not... I'm not going to hit on you. I'm going to pursue the fat penis. And I know everything that's throbbing is going to be swollen. But I'll be by because I suck dick. Yeah, I'll be by because I like cool.

All right, right, right, right. That was actually brilliant. Yeah, no, I'm good. I have a talent. Is this a wasted one? It's a waste of a talent. That was brilliant, actually. He wrote in, he said, did you guys hear the Key David is in Hasman Hotel?

Yes, I did hear this. And what's fascinating about this is that, and I love this. I love that this is true. our friend Mick voices the character in the pilot that Keith David is voicing in the in the full proper 824 version of the show so our friend

got replaced by Keith David that's pretty crazy and that's fucking so sick like I was telling him I was like dude I would be so ecstatic to be replaced by Keith David because that means you're just in your link now like you're linked to this guy we met him you met him

yeah me smoky Mick we all met him oh yeah that's right that's right yeah I had this not talk because I was gonna cry yeah yeah that was that was at the Comic Con right yeah yeah yeah yeah because I remember I got that that birthday message from Keith David

Smokey sent it to me I was like this is sick I can't believe this is I can't believe this is real but oh wow that's crazy he's the fucking goat man the fact that he's a real person is insane to me sometimes Mm-hmm. Yeah, it really doesn't. It doesn't make sense.

And he's still going so strong, too. If we lose, the, dude, the day we lose him is the day I'm going to really be. I'm going to have to like really. Why don't even put that energy out here, man? Bro, it'll kill you. Don't kill you. I'll kill you. Don't even put the energy out in the universe.

I'll kill you dead. That's so fucking serious. Don't fucking say. I'll fucking kill you, dude. That shit that I never want to discuss, man. There's certain people you don't want to discuss to put the energy out there. or just let the cards lies they may, man, or however you say that fucking phrase.

Whatever. Yeah. Bruce, the genetic jackhammer rando. He says, hey, role models. I agree. It's a terrible idea to bring in fans to have on the podcast. But when it comes to other content creators, what's the bar? Do you have to know them?

Do they need a certain amount of subscribers? Unrelated, my podcast has 60 views and I have two subscribers. It's not about, I wouldn't even say it's about subscriber number. I do think knowing them is kind of important, at least a little bit. Like, I wouldn't want to... We've... I have definitely had... I feel like we've had people on the podcast that I've never spoken to before, but I feel...

I don't know that for sure. Well, I mean, but that's pretty normal. Right. I feel like there's at least one person, right? No way. I don't actually know... I don't actually know off the top of my head, like, what our guest list is. It's been...

It's not many. It's not many. It's not many. It's been Hunter. It's been, um... or Meek Canyon. It's been Alvis.

Lyle. Yeah. Leon. Leon. Yeah, I guess maybe not. I don't know. Knowing them is kind of important. I wouldn't say subscriber count is important.

Like, if we knew somebody that we thought was funny, uh, like, I mean, we had Gabby on the podcast, you know, uh,

when, when, uh, Derek was sick that one time. And it was just, you know, we knew her and we get along well with her and she's funny. So like,

it's, it's really just a matter of like, do we know them? Do we think that they could have a good time on. Do we think, the main thing for me is, like, do I think they would have a good time on the podcast? Because it is a very specific, like,

you can't get, like, a buttoned up guy. You can't get, like, Lex Friedman on Starlink. Oh, my God. That's not going to work at all. But there's a part of me that would want to get on him because I want to antagonize him in a way that, like, I want to ask him the worst shit possible to try to get him to not be. He is, he is the personification.

of neutral. Like, I've never heard him emote ever. I want to ask him what, I want to ask him what cardboard he based his personality on. Yeah. It's the most boring person I think I've ever fucking sick. Like, it really, it really, it honestly,

like, when I heard, like, there were so many people talking about, like, Shreedman's show. Yeah. A couple, a couple, I think maybe like last year sometime. I don't remember. There was a thing where he interviewed Todd Howard or something, and that was, like, kind of like, big in the gaming sphere because that was like weird.

And I was like, oh, interesting. This is like a big show. Let me go, let me go see what this is about. And I've never seen a more... He's like that the fucking L rocks or whatever. El Cores. He's like the fucking El Cors in Massiving. He has no emotion in his soul.

Like, I've never seen somebody who's more of an automaton than this guy. Like I've never seen him laugh I've never seen him smile Granted I'm not like a big consumer of the show So like maybe that does happen And maybe I'm just seeing I've seen enough examples of it But I've seen enough imagine

Yeah like he's not there I've seen him smile But like even that even this Like how do you how do you smile lame? Like how do you like how do you like Like how do you have no emotion when you smile It doesn't make sense to me Like it's like a fake smile like Ronda Santis or something

When you see him smile but it's like a genuine small beer like bro what how are people how has he have such a large platform I know he's been on Joe Rogan multiple times so it makes sense but he's he's very accomplished he's very easy he's a great guitarist I've actually seen him play guitar he's actually really good at it

he's very good at what he does with all of his knowledge and shit but damn even that fucking interview and like it's clear that he's not really a Bethesda fan but a Skyrim fan and it's kind of like it's one of those things where I'm like, well, get the fuck out of here, dude. You're the wrong person to conduct this. Yeah, I remember that feeling so weird.

It was just like, you, this does not fit at all. Like, what's happening here? Yeah, that's what, because that's what, who came on, who came on Joe Rogan's podcast to talk about, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, was it John, was it John, was it Carmack? Let me look it up. Let me look it up.

Let me look at it. Yeah, keep talking. I'll look it up. Because I just remember Joe, the only reason I think this even happened is because Joe was obsessed with Quake Arena way back in the day. Like, when did Quake Arena came out? That came out in like fucking, what, 2002 or 2000? I can't even remember. He was obsessed with that.

So then for some reason, all these, Joe could not give a flying fuck about any of the latest run of Doom or anything that was happening. So it was the most awkward fucking podcast ever. Yeah, John, John Carmack. It was John Carmack, who is a game design genius. But, like, yeah, him, him being on Joe Rogan and Joe Rogan, only being a fan of Quake, fucking three arena is crazy. That's like, if we had, like, if I did a solo episode of the show, and I had, like, the head of, like, bungee on, but, like, I only cared about Myth 2 Soul Blighter.

from 1996. That's insane. I was like, man, how did you make, how did you guys make myth? How did you guys make myth too? What was the, and just no halo questions, no destiny questions at all. Like, that's so crazy to have John Carmack on your podcast and not care about Doom. Why even at that point? It's, it's, it's baffling.

It's, it's baffling. But you never once mention Halo. You never once mention Halo. Never a single time you mention it. And it's like, damn, bro. Dude, people would lose their fucking, which actually, I mean, when you think about it, it would be funny. Like, if you did that, if you did that on purpose, that would be really fucking funny to just not. Yeah, yeah.

But there's no way he didn't ask about doom on purpose. You know what I mean? Like, he just doesn't care. He doesn't give a fuck. Like, he didn't even play. That's the funny thing. He didn't even play OG Doom, which is like, bro, what the, what do you do? Why is this happening?

You just, this is a little moment in time and got obsessed with Quake and which it was also like, there are so many things better than Quake. It's like, dude. What the fuck, Joe. I like Quake. I like, I like Quake, but like, dude, like, it's so weird for that to be, that to be your favorite. Like, you played Quake, loved it and that you weren't curious at all about what else the studio was doing. ball? Like you didn't...

Exactly. That's so weird. That's like that when I found out that like when I played Skyrim and I was like, oh my God, I love this. I immediately was like, all right, well, I played fall three a little bit a while back and I didn't really get it. I didn't really understand what it was trying to do. I think I get it now. I get what Bethes is doing.

Let me go and see what that is. And I loved Fallout 3. 100%. How do you not... So I don't understand. I don't understand the mental. like the track that you'd have to be on to be like, wow, this is great. Just immediately walk away. Immediately just be like, all right, bye.

Like, it's crazy. Just the five-minute podcast. Yeah. Wow, it's crazy. Yeah, I want to go back and listen. I was going to say, but I'm like, no, why do I want to do that? I'm kind of curious. I might listen to it.

I don't know. It really is insane. gangster party what is it what is all this all right let me find let me find one more question to wrap dude it is raining so hard in cali right now dude yeah I hate it I fucking hate it I swear to God if it rains when I come next we're gonna be piss there's gonna rain probably let's see it's your luck let me see the weather when are you coming uh Derek

Wednesday I think you'll be here Wednesday yeah when I head over to you coming Chris What? Ziggi's place. We don't spend a weekend over there. Yeah. Mm. Yeah, I'll come.

I'll come back. It's going to be... Ben, I mean... Can't wait to get some real Mexican food again. Oh, my God. Dude, those burritos were crazy, dude. Yeah, those are... They're so fucking obnoxious.

They're so good. The hell am I going to... You're not going to fit... Like, that's dope. Great novelty. But I'm like, I want something a little... bit smaller, sir. I'm not going to finish this shit.

I realize, so I'm, I realize I'm actually allergic to avocado, like, for real. Like, actually, I realize that. I can't believe it. That sucks. So I was, like, eating one of the burritos, and I took a bite out of it. And I was like, hmm, this tastes funny. Because this avocado in general just tastes funny to me. And then my tongue started itching immediately.

And I was like, oh, fuck. Fuck me. You know what time it is. I know what time it is. What time it is. Fucking epipen time. So I just took, I'm not, I'm not violently alerted, thank God. I'm not like a serious alert reaction.

I just have like my tongue starts itching and I get sick. I get sick. Like I have to throw up. But my throat doesn't close. Thank God. Imagine dying avocado kind of pussy. What kind of fucking idiot, dude. Yeah, it would be funny.

I would start kicking you a little bit. That's wild. Kick me in the head as hard as you can if I die from avocado. Kick me in a headache. as hard as you can, bro. Try to kick my head off my body. I got a good, I got a good final.

I got a good final question. Let's do it. Why the fuck are there two episode 192s on Patreon? The fuck? What? There are? I don't know.

Maybe we gotta fix that. I don't know, whatever. Anyway, evil sween be like, I'm skinny, Rodin. He says,

Hey, there, my dark clubs. Geez. Geez, bro. People are mean in these fucking. People are mean, man. These guys are, fucking you guys are assholes

I'm glad you're all homeless yeah you guys are coming after me sometimes I'm like yo what is your damage dude like what happened to you man a couple of a couple of names in here over there just taking shots at you specifically I don't know man they're just mad that I'm thriving and they're not

That's crazy. What do you have him for dinner tonight? Your lips? That's crazy. Go catch rainwater in a tin can, you fucking bum. Die. Holy shit. All right, he says, hey there, right, doc, brothers.

If a movie studio said that they would fund, produced, and not censor only one of the movies that you've made in your extra ammo, which one would you pick? I'd want the racist mask. I'd really want the racist mask because of the fact that it could be so racist. And they'd have to make it and it would make it to a theater. And people would see that. They would see that level of bigotry in comedy. But I know that I know that Independence Day would be the best one.

I know it would be the best one. Go look at the thumbnail closely when I released it for free feeds. I want that to be the poster. It's so, I made it. I made it this shit. If you look closely, it is the worst Photoshop that I could possibly try to do.

I'm so happy with it. I'm so happy with it. It's so bad. And I want that as the movie poster. Like, what I love about it, it says nothing. Nothing about it says Independence Day.

You just see. I know. I know. It is, it is, there is, it is, it is, it's so shit. It's so, is that this uncle filling a longboat. It's, well, it's so, it is nessy, but I, I shopped in a way, like, you know how you fucking layer some shit so you can do a foot? I'm, like, layered it's so shitty, like to, it's, I love it. I just, I was going to do it real at first, but then when I started, you know, the gears start turning, I'm like, no, no, no, this is way better.

It's way better when it looks That thumbnail is so fucked Everything about it just fucked up I love it It's so good Yeah I don't know man I would say independence I have a I really

I am really biased towards that Gears movie Just because there are certain things About that movie There are certain twists In the writing of that movie During that extra ammo It's specifically and I don't want to spoil it Because I think it's so much of it

Yeah. This is the only piece of snark tank media that I actually re-listen to all the way through. Like everything else is kind of like, oh, yeah, like I remember this and that like past like editing. This was before I actually put it up for the free feed, I listened to the entire thing. And I was like, this is great. Yeah, I listen to it too. This is great. It's pretty perfect.

Larry David He's like holy shit He's still like. It's crazy to me that that's the last season of Kirby enthusiasm is coming out in February. Last one. It's crazy because Larry David is actually really old now. Like before he just looked old, now he is actually. Yeah, he's about like 57 or something.

He's in the 70s now, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, he's 76 years old. He's getting up there. I hope he went for president. I don't. That would be amazing. I don't. That would be fucking.

I feel like, honestly, I don't know if there's anyone who... I feel like he could win on ironically. He would. I think he is the worst choice for a president. I think Larry David versus the rock.

I'm Malcolm Gladwell. of smart talks with IBM. I recently spoke with IBM's new director of research, Jake Mbeta. We discussed his vision for the future of quantum computing. At IBM research,

what we always do is answer what is the future of computing, whether it's coming up with new algorithms, coming up with better AI, coming up with quantum, or coming up with just how do different accelerators go together. It's our DNA to answer the question of what is the future. Isn't it a perfect problem for IBM because you kind of need to have a legacy of building stuff? Yes. Building actual physical machines. Yeah, it's why I came to IBM. I wanted the experience, the culture of building hard things that others have not done before.

Where do you imagine we are in the timeline of this technology? There will come a point when it will mature. Right? Yeah. My cell phone is a mature technology at this point. How far are we from that point with quantum? By 2029, we'll build the first fault-tolerant quantum computer. That is one that can run a very, very large, large problem.

Just stumps on him Yeah, it's dead That's his dad That's his Was that freaking What's the name That stomped on him? I'm pretty sure there's John, yeah

John just Stopps hopped on it. Imagine gathering your friends to beat your child together. Like, that's crazy. What's funny is that one of them, he was lying down, he got kicked and he woke up.

Yeah, yeah. So Jack kicks him first, and he, uh, John kicks him first, he wakes up. And then fucking, and then fucking, uh, Arthur's beating the fucking Dutch gets one in. It's so funny. It's so crazy.

The song choice is so good, too. Look at how he staggers I just noticed that Jacket takes a swing though I just noticed at one point he takes a little swing So he does try to defend himself Oh 100 reason We gotta put this in the episode What is he trying to swing

Oh he does He does and then John kicks him in the back of his head So at least he tried to fight back He ain't no bitch at least respect that. You ain't no bitch. It's at the 10 second mark.

At least he ain't no pussy. I respect that. Oh, fuck. It's so good. Oh, God. I love Red Dead is so

I, man, I love Rockstar games. I'm playing through J. 4 still. Like, I go through like a mission every night and it's just like, dude,

I forgot how good this fucking story is. These characters. And the physics, by the way, are just so fucking funny. I feel like I'm missing something because I really did not connect to DT.

4-story at all. I guess I got to replay now that I'm a bit older. Yeah, try it again. Try it again. It hits differently when you're old. I didn't connect to it when I was younger at all.

I didn't give a shit. I was like, who the fuck is this immigrant? I just want to run around shooting people. Because I like Ballade of Gay Tony. I thought was very good. Lost in the damn was weird.

It was weird. I didn't care for Lost in Dam as much. But, yeah, Ballade of A Tony was fucking great. Yeah, I don't know. There's something about,

it's bleak, I think, is the thing. And I think that's kind of a turn off for a lot of people because it is like kind of I don't know it's more depressing I think than most Grand The Auto games are it's still got that twinge of ridiculousness

but it's definitely like I play this one mission where this guy gets out of prison and his his best friend just kind of doesn't fuck with him anymore and he's just like man I just want to end it all man so I just want to fucking it sucks man nobody wants to fuck with me no more

and I'm like oh man don't worry man I'll shoot up a strip club for you it's fucking ridiculous But it's so good. Yeah, I don't know. I think honestly, a lot of it is just like, his accent is so fucking engaging. I don't know what it is. What the fuck are you talking about, man?

Stop being such a pussy. Stop being so stupid and gay. It's basically what Nico does to everybody. He's like people, people like bear their souls to him. He's like, well, what's, stop being so stupid. Stop being so dumb and gay, okay? You like men sexually? Are you attracted to men physically?

That's what I want to see. I want to see Nick. I want to see Nico Bellic run for president against Donald Trump. That would be some shit. He's in Eastern European. He's gross and gay. He's gross and gay. I really can see him saying that on this page.

I really think the thing is like I can see him saying. it. I can see him saying it. He's from Europe. You know what that means? He smells like hot cum. Yeah, he does. I've smelled him. He smells like you. You know the Eastern Europeans. They all smell like boiling

cum. Everybody, every single one of them I've ever met. Come steam, basically. It's disgusting. I can't stand these east... I can't stomach it myself. You may be stronger than I. Come needs to be room temperature. Maybe a little cold. But

Definitely not, definitely not boiling. The idea of rule temperature come is cold cum, which is hilarious. Dude, cold cum. Dude, cold comes. That's the fact that he prefers cold cum. I prefer a nice heaping pile of cold cum. That's just me. Cold cum.

This man, though, smells like the opposite. He smells like boiling cup. It smells like if I came on the sun. That's what Nicobelic smells like. Smells like a pot of boiling cum. Which I could mind you if I wanted to. I could if I wanted to. I could come on the moon easy.

No problem. If I wanted to come on the sun, no problem. That's a little tricky. I might have to wait a couple days, build up some PSI, but I could get to the sun easily. Don't, don't. Just two days. Two days.

He can do it. Two days and give me some time and some energy. I could really, I could come on the sun. The trick really is the trick is to squeeze at the apex and then release. It's to put all the pressure into hips, really. Squeeze the p-hole. squeeze the head squeeze the head and then release

look at this guy look at this guy opposite me I bet he's never even come on the sun I bet he can't even he couldn't come on a rainbow if he wanted I could come through I've come through rainbows easy that's what I think of pride

that's what I think of pride that's what I think of pride I can pridefully come on the sun if I wanted to I could tell him Trump tell him you ever see the clips of Make America come on the sun again Make him great again

If you've ever seen an eclipse That's just me That's me coming on the sun That's why I was looking straight at the sun With all my nut Yeah that's me That's why I was looking straight at the sun that one time I wanted to gaze upon my work

I wanted to see my Yeah I love that That video of him staring at the eclipse Is one of my favorite video That's so awesome I just know why he's doing that That's what I'm confused

I'm like why is he doing that? You know what it is I totally get I know what it is It's like it can't be that bad That's him being like it can't be that bad It's the son He's like what the fuck the sun's up always Yeah you just steal someone's eyes
