Sit back and prepare for some place.
Nice.
Whatever. Why are you so sad? Why are you so sad?
Because I actually like Anthony Joshua.
Who is that? That's two first names. That doesn't mean nothing.
Yeah. If it's two first names, it's most likely British. You got to remember that.
Yeah. Well, yeah, that's me.
Anthony Joshua, former heavyweight champion is fighting. This is so stupid.
I got to say, though, just to get it out of the way, Jake Paul was going to fight a tiny man,
Giovante Tank Davis, but then he, like, beat up his wife or something like that, so he got pulled from the card.
Yeah. That's a hell of a way to get out of a fight.
Right. I think Tank might be shorter than me. I'm not sure. I think, or the same height.
He's a little light skin dude, right? Little light can do with the brids. Yeah. He's a piece of bees, but he's clearly he's fucking tiny. It was stupid. It was stupid as fuck to some circus bullshit for Netflix.
Beat his wife. He's gone. So now Jake,
fights an insanely large human being who knocked out a guy that had never been knocked out before,
who was the former heavyweight champion of the world in UFC, Francis Ngano, who is a fucking
monster and he destroyed him.
And now Jake Paul is going to fight him.
And I'm like, I can at least say, if this isn't completely fixed, I can give Jake Paul
a little bit of credit because he's going to die.
Like if it's not completely fixed, there's no way he can't be like, you know, hurt insanely
badly to where he for sure secures cTE and i'm i'm all for that yeah well i've given i've given up
on what bottom boxing is it's no it's the sport that sport is so it's so hey man silver lining
jake paul is going to get cTE and it's he's not he's gonna he's gonna win somehow what if that ends
somehow what i'm gonna cry hold on hold on what if that ends up like uh fixing him oh well i guess
isn't that still a good thing right like if you know you don't want like an intelligent jake paul
running around. He's still crazy.
Oh, what do you think? Oh, what do you think's going to happen? What would Jake Paul
like end up doing? Like he's like, oh, why am I boxing?
And then like he's like, uh, like, I don't know. It would be like, um, I feel like it's
almost like a, like an evil person like getting hit in the head so hard that they forget
that they've done any evil. And so like there and so they're like, but they still want to do it.
They're just like less doubtful about it. You know what I mean? It's like, oh, I have, uh,
what are you going to say? Crazy take. I think. I think.
I feel like most people that are really intelligent aren't evil.
Well, sure.
I feel like they're just not evil.
I feel like the fuck was that.
Okay.
Great.
Because you're like, what you were saying was so roundabout.
It was like, it was like, yeah, what is like, but if he gets to knock into like being really smart, he's probably not going to be evil.
Welcome to the snark day podcast.
We're going to the Star Tank podcast.
It's me, Chris.
It's him, Sweeney.
It's him, Derek.
I just, he's, he's clearly got, maybe he's got CTE or something.
It felt like you were painting a picture with like, I don't know, invisible ink.
And then you went back over it again.
Feels like he was making a joke.
Yeah, it was dumb.
He's the worst fucking co-host in the world.
I was absolute abysmal dog shit.
I was waiting.
I was waiting for you to get to the point.
And I was like, this point is not being gotten to.
It doesn't matter.
There's not really much to talk about today because, I don't know, nothing's happened quite yet.
On the day that we're recording this, Trump is meeting with Mom Donnie.
So that's, I'm sure that's going to be something, but we're going to miss it.
So, sorry.
We're going to lead with questions.
It's unusual that we do this.
But there's some stuff that I want to get to immediately because it pertains to, I think, the last episode that we did.
And it's, uh, it's.
I just totally fucking forgot about it.
But remember, you can go to Patreon.com slash a Snartank.
Remember, go over there, early ad-free access exclusive episodes.
We did a Snark Tank Jeopardy game in our extra ammo playlist.
So go check that out.
It's a lot of fun, I think.
Really good.
Yeah, people liked it, which is nice.
We'll probably do more similar, maybe not Jeopardy, exactly, but more similar stuff in the future when we figure out, like, how to iron that stuff out.
first question if you want to write in remember page on icom slash snark tank first question comes from pleo tca
you guys mentioned that song handlebars in the previous episode wow they just that just went up
i know right one hour ago this was uh this was written in no but he says did you guys hear that
abysmal dog shit cover of handlebars by logan paul i remember it i don't remember this at all
It was so fucking bad
The flowbots made a response to it
Side note
Would you guys ever be down
To doing voices for a sketch?
First off
The second
The second question is maybe
I don't know if it's if I like the sketch
I guess
But
I had no
I feel this tickled something in my brain
This like that Logan Paul
Did a fucking handlebars cover
But I do not remember it at all
It's not even a song to cover
Like there's nothing, that's not like a, it's kind of like people, I understand when some people, oh, a chopper like a rapper that can rap really fast.
You cover that to showcase your skills.
But if you like say, oh, I'm going to cover a Tupac song.
They'd be like, okay, what's the fucking point?
And I feel like handle bars kind of has the same type of thing.
Like there's nothing impressive about it covering that.
He definitely did it because he knew that he could just do it very easily.
It's not a demanding.
It's not like Aretha Franklin or like.
like a Whitney Houston or something.
You know what I mean?
It's like,
it's a very simple song.
By the way,
I am fucking cooked because I googled
Logan Paul,
Logan Paul.
When I was trying to find
robots.
A Logan Paul song.
I think it's because I wrote
Flogin Paul
because I was writing
Flobots while I was talking.
Flogan?
I can't.
A deleted music video?
It says deleted on it.
I just skip a
around.
Oh, that's good.
Oh, so, okay, so misleading question.
He didn't do a cover of handlebars.
He did a, so he, he did the chorus of handlebars with his own, like, lyrics about how cool.
Oh, he sampled.
I get it.
I get it.
Right.
Kind of like, I get it.
That's, uh, okay.
So now I remember why I don't remember that.
Because it was a straight cover.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
Why would you do that?
he's like a pioneer man a lot of these fucking uh
pop artists nowadays are doing shit like this they're just reimagining old fucking hits
yeah doche with uh what is it that anxiety song which is like yeah she's i mean fucking
choose it is uh right now there's an economy of hiring artists of songwriters to literally
like big like say i think uh what is it music group world w what are they called again
universal music group yeah i think uh i think they're one of
those people, one of those companies,
correct me if I'm wrong though, they're
hiring people to write
songs to like, Doolipa,
reimagined a fucking
Pink Floyd.
Is that new? Is that new? Is that
a new? I think that's, it's like a couple years old.
Maybe them, maybe
maybe them doing that, but I feel
like that's this music. That's been a music.
No, no. What I mean is, see, what usually
what people do is they would do things like
how Will Smith would just completely
repurpose,
Like, send me, forget me nuts.
What the hell's wrong with this guy?
Why are you looking back like he saw something?
Yeah, that's all ghost.
Sorry.
He's on something today, man.
Yeah, he's going to be all right.
He'll be all right.
I'll figure out.
All right, good for Logan Paul.
He deleted this song, I guess.
Do you see what they said, what Flobod said?
Can we find that?
So, okay, yeah, let me find it.
It's just, it's the first thing that shows up.
It's, it's two minutes.
So, like, I don't know if I want to go do the whole thing about it.
But, like, I think they just, I think I remember watching this.
And they, oh, yeah, they did a, they did a song response to it.
Oh, interesting.
So, okay.
That is capitalizing off that.
I get it.
So, yeah.
So, I mean, whatever.
They were like, hey, don't do this again.
That was the whole song.
It's just.
Don't fucking do that again.
I'm serious.
Don't do that again.
We'll kill you.
We are the flowbots.
Don't fuck with us.
We will kill you.
We are the flow bots.
That's the song.
Flow, flow bots.
We are the flow bots.
I remember seeing, you know,
system of down,
they were trying to be very cordial
to machine gun Kelly
because he did a cover of aerials.
And it's,
it is one of the worst things
I've heard.
in quite some time. It's not as bad as
a little Uzivert's cover of chop suey
if you've heard that. It's so bad.
Why? Chris, have you heard that?
No, I had it.
What the fuck? Oh, God. Jesus
Christ. I need you to
hear the verse in the chorus, Chris.
I need you to like skip the intro.
The intro's funny too. Because it's a little
Uzi vert. Yeah, and then it's put in a
chop suey. These names. I hate these names.
I don't even know what that means.
Do you know what the, to me, it's like an oozy and avert ramp?
But I don't understand what that means.
I miss real people's names or I miss real people's names or just the gays or the loa
gotcha.
Yeah.
Bad.
It was I do think it.
Where's it?
I don't see it.
What?
Really?
Probably on SoundCloud.
It should be like the first thing on YouTube.
I just saw it the other day.
Lil Uzi vert.
Did he call it CS?
I guess.
I'm not, because I'm not seeing chop suey.
It should be like, oh, it is.
He called it C.S.
I didn't notice that.
Why?
It's just bad for SCO.
C.S.
Oh, counters.
He covered counterstrike.
Dude, just wait to you the chorus.
Wait to you to the chorus, brother.
It's, it's amazing.
Oh, my God.
Listen, I'm going to play a piece of the chorus so the audience can hear.
No, why, why would they do?
why would a person do this?
Because
because they can, I guess.
I think he felt passionate about it to make it,
but it's like,
hey man,
once you do it,
once you do it,
it's like,
oh,
that didn't come out well.
I'm just going to leave that alone.
I'm going to destroy this.
Many projects like that.
No, man,
that's,
that's you,
man.
You're not getting paid million to dollars
for everything you do effectively.
That's a good point,
actually,
you know.
Dude,
that is so shit.
What sucks is that I actually like Louisville.
Not so much is music, but I do like, I think he's funny.
He seems all right.
Like, I've seen some interviews with him, like, but that made me not like him as much.
I'll say, I'll tell you.
You can't have that good of judgment.
It can't be that good of a person if you do something like that.
Everybody's got bad songs.
Yeah, I don't know, man.
That's, that's bad.
What's the, is that the worst?
What is the worst cover you think?
like off-off rip.
Hello, hello, I'm Malcolm Gladwell,
host of the podcast Smart Talks with IBM.
I recently sat down with IBM's chairman and CEO, Arvin Krishna.
And I asked him,
how can companies use AI to its fullest potential
to create smarter business?
My one advice to that.
Pick areas you can scale.
Don't pick the shiny little toys on the side.
For example.
If anybody has,
has more than 10% of what they had for customer service 10 years ago,
they're already five years behind.
If anybody is not using AI to make their developers who write software 30% more productive today,
with the goal of being 70% more productive.
Yeah.
Wow.
So we are not asking our clients to be the first experiment on it.
We say, you can leverage what we did.
We're happy to bring out all our learnings, including what needs to change in the process,
because the biggest change is not technology, is getting people to accept that there's a different way to do things.

So it might, so it's interesting enough, honestly, right now I might be a little biased
because we're talking about it because that's genuinely really fucking bad.
There's one that like people even push back because I,
actually brought it up. It was these kids. They looked like they were maybe in high school.
Um, and they did a cover of duality by slip knot. And it's genuinely horrific. But there was a lot of
people that are like, hey, at least they're trying kind of a vibe that. And I was like, yeah,
I totally understand, but also are you, are you, are you hearing this? It's, I don't, I don't count
that stuff like that. Like if, if they're young like a little garage band, it's like, they're,
they're just figuring it out. I completely, I, completely, I,
That's why I wasn't pushing back to people pushing.
Like, I totally understand this sentiment because I can show you the first song I ever wrote with my buddy.
It's, you know, it's hot.
It's, it is, it's pure diarrhea.
There's no other way to describe it.
Pure diarrhea.
Yeah.
I actually, I might read, just record it like with modern technology, but still have people understand, like, this is what my first song I ever made sounded like.
and people would be like, oh,
this sucks.
This is garbage.
For me, I think one of the worst things for me,
it's technically, it's technically
I guess not.
Like, I like it like that by Cardi B.
I really hate that shit.
I really hate her version of that fucking song.
It's not a cover though.
It's not.
No, it's not.
It's a different song.
Yeah, different lyrics, I guess.
There's different lyrics.
Benito sounds good in it,
But everybody else is like, I hate everyone here.
I don't like you.
I don't like y'all.
I don't like J Balvin.
I really don't like Cardi B.
Yeah.
I think, yeah, Cardi B's pretty rough.
She's, she's pretty terrible.
Pretty terrible artist.
Pretty horrible.
That's an interesting.
I actually really,
this is an interesting thing that I actually want to dive deep into.
Because, yeah, there's a lot of bad covers out there.
But yeah, what is considered the worst?
What do people are like?
Because there's bad sammy.
Like there's like like that is a bad sample
Machine Gun Kelly's fucking sampling swing life away
The Rising Ed song is a bad sample
I don't know I didn't hear I don't know about machine gun Kelly
Machine Gun Kelly is pretty talented but he's made so much bad shit and it's like dude
He if he if he paired with a good at this
Now you go if he paired with a songwriter I think
Bingo he'd be he'd be he'd be
be pretty decent because I think he can deliver things well.
Like I think he's got a decent like delivery and he's multifaceted enough where he's like he's decent at a lot of things.
Yeah.
Is that particularly great at any one of them?
But I think if he paired with somebody who like was, you know, who could help.
He needs.
He needs like someone who's actually a savant and that could help him just hone his skills and actually write like good music.
because some of the records that he put out
when he was doing that pop punk era,
some of the stuff on there was actually
if he, if he removed his voice,
I was like,
oh, this is good.
Like,
put somebody talented over it.
Because I'm like,
because he can't sing.
Like,
he's not a good singer.
Right.
You know,
like,
it's just like,
all right.
Which,
I think he passed the envelope pretty well for that genre
he's singing for,
man.
I'm being honest.
I don't,
I mean,
there are definitely better.
I don't think,
I don't think,
I don't think,
they're definitely better.
I would say,
but like he's,
I would,
I don't think he sounds bad enough for me to be like, oh, this is horrible.
I think he just sounds like people singing that genre music.
Granted, that is not my.
I think he sounds like he's almost talking.
The way he's singing, he almost sounds like he's almost talking.
I feel like a lot of people when I was growing up sound like they're almost talking.
That is a lot of them.
From being in the pop point genre, no, they were emoting.
They were too passionate and almost annoying.
I, to a sense.
I'm looking about Tom DeLong.
I'm not going to stand on that.
That fucker from a, I'm trying.
to forget that I'm addicted.
Well, we're talking about Patrick Stump, even though he's a great singer.
I'm just saying there's a lot of emoting in pop punk.
And then he's just like, uh, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, the emo girl.
And I'm like, bro, they're not even singing.
You're just, you're barely saying emo girl.
Like, see, do it.
Do it.
Do something.
I'm not the best judge of character when it comes to that genre of music, because I hate it.
But I understand.
You know what singing is.
For me, it just sound like this is just this genre of music.
It's like he sounds like someone that's singing that genre of music to me.
I know you know what pop-un, because you said you used to date women.
You know what paramour is and all this shit.
Well, yeah.
What you're saying right now is I know you don't actually believe that.
Because people in the pop-up genre do not do what he did.
So what you're saying doesn't track at all.
I feel like he was singing.
I feel like it might not have been riveting,
but I feel like he was singing.
It wasn't like,
I mean,
hey,
you can call it singing.
I just say,
you can classify it to sing.
I think it was well.
You can.
Like,
I'm not gonna,
I'm not gonna be like,
you like just,
just pulled one of his songs.
You can't sit there and compare like fucking,
uh,
Machine and Kelly to like Patrick Stump or something.
Like it's so clear.
It's so clear that there's like,
or even Brandon Yuri,
you know,
like,
you know what I mean?
Like,
these guys are good singers.
Like,
you know how to sing.
Very good.
Very passionate.
Like very,
they're actually bellowing and that's the thing like they're using their fucking diaphragm and he's just like
barely i feel like brunny uri is a particular case like he's a singer like a real singer like he sings
and choirs and stuff that that is like not like the person that's like throwing freaking what's her name
also we're not even talking about well like listen to what i'm saying bellowing singing with their
fucking they're saying more like they're more singers and it's like that's my point though that is
Like Pete wins, right?
Like Pete wins, right?
Pete wins,
right?
He was a background vocalist.
Not,
was he the,
he's the,
he's the basis.
No, that's Patrick's not.
Patrick Stombe.
He kind of talked.
He doesn't.
He did be moments where he would,
like,
he would, like, draw out his,
they'd be more.
Dance.
All right.
We can't talk about this.
We can't talk about this.
We can't, we can't, we can't talk about this.
We can not with this.
He doesn't exist.
He's not in the same reality.
That is crazy.
Patrick stuff talks
He's not a lot of dispute
To the other side of the apocalypse
But there are moments in the song where he's
He's effectively doing the same thing
Me Jingon Kelly's doing
Like not the whole time he does sing
I want he does really sing
Lily to attack you like a dog right now
I want to bust through
She's not gonna agree
Because she's a huge fan of that era of music
He's not true
You don't know what you're talking about
There's a lot of people
to like this shit to understand that there's a difference.
I'm just saying like I feel like a lot of people were like there was a lot of emoting in the music.
I'm not like there wasn't obviously.
That's why I was called like, you know, pop punk and emo emo, like, but the idea is that I feel like parts of the songs and a lot of songs that were out that time, people were effectively just like rhythmically talking on the beat.
Sometimes they were.
Not always.
Not always.
Don't get me wrong.
Sometimes they would, but I'm, my point and we can move on after this is that like that's all he does.
Like say, say for example, dance dance.
Dance Dance, one of my favorite songs from them.
The verses.
He's basically, you know, talking in melody.
He's singing, but it's like a very, it's very mellow, you know.
She says she's no good with words, but I'm worse.
But like, Machine Gun Kelly is doing that all the fucking time.
Okay.
Like, even in the chorus hits and he's bare, like, he just gets louder.
But he's not like, I'm like, bro, use your fucking chest, man.
Use your diaphragm.
Sing.
He doesn't really do it.
it's awful but hey whatever whatever i it's not for me it's fine i know some people say the sound
of silence that fucking uh disturbed covers pretty bad oh that's stupid that's that's yeah i understand
if you don't like it but i i would i would i would hard disagree with it being bad i would i would
i would say so too like i don't know it's not the same yeah but it's performed well
like it's like it sounds great what do you uh if that at your bag i told you
get that, yeah. But like, you can't say
that that's a bad cover. That's stupid. I hate
when people don't differentiate. It's like, brother,
if you don't like it, that's fine.
Yeah. That's the greatest
problem in the universe. I don't like something, it's
bad. It's like,
it's not the same thing, man.
That was what you, I feel like you just
did that. I did not say anything was
bad. I verbi-you see
what just happened right now, live,
live and direct. It just happened.
All right. Roll the tape
back. I literally said it sounds
sort of similar to other people were doing at that time.
That is what I said. And Derek clarified,
yes, but he's doing it the whole song. No, but you said
I hate that genre. You said, I hate that genre.
So they're all not, so they're all not singing.
I literally did. I did not say that verbatim.
You kind of did, though. I literally didn't say that. I said, I'm not the
biggest fan of that genre. So I'm not someone who's going to die on a hill,
but I feel like a lot of that genre, I heard news people singing like that.
what's the worst cover by
I did that
worst cover
the worst cover is
there's to be some pretty bad ones
I know yeah actually there's probably like a list
of shit yeah
imagine by Galgado
oh come on
that's not a cover
that's funny as fuck though
that is good that is good
that is the worst cover probably
I will say you know what does upset me
and this is probably a lot of people might even be mad about this
that are that are indie hipsters
So one of my favorite bands is called Beirut
And they have a song called Postcards in Italy
And Florence from Florence and Machine
She did a cover of it
And I fucking hate it
Especially she's just she's going wait
She's doing the like what I would like
Oh you know Mariah Carey on your grande when they're showing off
Yeah
Like she's kind of doing that
Like not at their level
But it feels like she's like
Oh check out my range
And check out like what I can really do with this vibrato
And I'm like, I don't like
Oh, you know it's a great answer for this?
Every single song in the live action lion gig.
Jesus Christ.
Beyonce ruined every song she was in.
It's truly mesmerizing.
It's really bad.
That exact thing that you're talking about.
She's doing that exact thing.
She's literally singing over Donald Glover the whole movie.
And he's probably like, okay, I'm going to get my millions and leave, I guess.
You can't tell her nothing.
The problem is you probably couldn't tell her nothing.
They would have been like, hey, dial it back, but they're like, I can't tell Beyonce that.
Fucking Jayzee's behind her fucking ready to pounce on me like a fucking camel.
She's going to make the sunset on my family if I tell her to quiet down.
So I can't do anything.
Did you say like a camel?
Yeah, because he looks like Joe Campbell, the cigarette fucking mascot.
That's what I thought you meant.
Yeah, I was hoping you made the connection.
Yeah, yeah.
That's crazy.
Joe Camel is insane.
With somebody, there used to be a website.
It might still exist.
looks like.com and
every once in a while I would check
that shit and yeah, that was one of them.
We checked that, we checked that recently, uh, or not recently, but in like a,
uh, one of our, one of the more recent episodes where we were trying to find, uh,
whether or not the, what is it that fucking the guy from Zodododot?
What the fuck was the show?
It was the Jay Leno.
It was the J. Leno meme character, Beetleborgs.
Trying to figure out if Jay Leno looked like the, the, the beetle board.
Look like a flabber, right, from Big Bad Beetleborbs.
A fucking impossibly stupid name for that character.
I can't.
I really can't get over it.
That is that the show initially, it gets like a spin off of Super Sentai.
And the Japanese version's really cool and the American version is just shit.
I'm sure.
Yeah.
It's just shit.
American versions for autistic children.
I mean, come on.
It's really insane how, like, how much better Power Rangers and Super Sentai is over there.
It's like wild.
It's like, oh, this is like cool over here.
I want to be honest.
It's,
it's,
it,
I wouldn't call it
cool,
but I would say
it's way more
entertaining.
It's cooler.
Because I've watched,
I don't know,
man.
It's,
I guess if you're into,
it's still dog shit,
but it's like,
this is cool.
Like,
is it.
What do you see?
Chris,
what the hell is insane,
but it's cool.
What are you looking
shocked at?
So,
so I'm looking at a list
of the worst covers ever.
And one of them is William Shatner,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Oh,
right,
because he did.
a cover album. He did a cover album. I totally forgot about this. I've listened to it right now.
It's bad. Yeah, this is pretty, this is up there. Because this literally is what Kingston was talking about, except way, way extreme, where it's like, it's literally William Chattner talking like William Shatner over the instrumental of Lucy in this guy with Dinus.
That's good. There's like no singing at all. Oh yeah, Kanye West doing Bohemian Rhapsody at that, at that concert.
it was pretty bad.
That was unfortunate, yeah.
It's like one of those times when I'm like, hey, where's your auto tune, man?
Where's a, where's a, you know, maybe a little pitch correction on your, on your machine?
He's not a good singer and he keeps trying.
It's like, yeah, you're not a good singer.
You can harmonize, but you're not a good singer.
That's not your name.
It's like, do that.
Like, that was the whole point, wasn't it?
That you couldn't sing well?
So you did, you use the pitch correction and you sounded, quote unquote good?
the songs are good though
like hey look you don't need to sing well that like
an fucking angus young
Angus Young sounds like death
that's an anomaly
oh that's well his name's not
he's the other guy oh what's the other guy
sorry Angus Young's the guitarist
that dresses like a school kid and actually
gives me the creeps now that he's like
yeah and still does it
well his name is beef old now
shut the fuck out
B
a sirl loin old
Sir Lloyd Old.
I can't be the first person that said.
That has to be up.
That sucks.
I love it.
I love it.
That sucks so much.
Sirloid old.
His name's like Brian's.
It's something so basic.
I know.
It's like Brian Thompson.
Brian Williams or something bullshit.
I can't remember.
No way.
Brian Thompson was the fucking CEO.
They got executed.
Yeah.
But, uh, you know, it's somewhat.
It's somewhat similar.
Let's see, AC.
The weird thing is that if you look,
we might have did it on the show.
I don't remember.
Maybe it was something else,
but looking up how he sounded before he was in ACDC,
really good voice.
And then he started doing that bird shit.
Yeah.
He was like, these,
he joined the band and it was like,
man,
these guitarists suck.
I sound way too good.
I sound way too good.
I got a,
I got a,
I got a,
I got a really nerve myself.
Brian Johnson. Yeah.
Brian Johnson. Yeah, it's damn close. Yeah, very close.
Might as well be the thing I said before.
What was the, you know?
What's the guy, the guy that got shot? What's his name?
Brian Thompson.
Thompson. Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
He was the guy that Luigi Merked.
Yeah, he got Luigi.
Anyway, let's see.
Uh, blah, blah, blah.
Hello, hello. I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of Smart Talk.
with IBM. I recently spoke with IBM's new director of research, Jake Embatta. We discussed his
vision for the future of quantum computing. At IBM research, what we always do is answer what is
the future of computing, whether it's coming up with new algorithms, coming up with better
AI, coming up with quantum, or coming up with just how do different accelerators go together.
It's our DNA to answer the question of what is the future. Isn't it a perfect problem for IBM,
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.

So we did a game of the year episode already.
Stroking my shit to Rick Blackman's videos already.
He says, hey, fat black in Puerto Rican.
far what are your top five or top ten games of 2025?
X-Vision 33 is my number one.
Silk Song is two and Dispatchers 3.
Dying like the beast is probably four.
I heard good things about that.
And Arc Raiders is slowly making its way up the list,
but it's probably seventh in my top 10 right now.
We did a whole kind of episode going over the nominations.
This might be a little bit late.
So we won't belabor it, but like we,
you can listen to us talking that episode.
Sorry, the timing of the question is kind of weird.
Appreciate your riding in though.
But Expedition 33 is clearly like that.
I don't know, man. For me, it's my game of the year.
I want to play it again, but with, I was looking on how to end the last episode.
And I have just, um, so Gustav is naked from behind.
And you can just see the beginning of his butt crack.
And that's the very end.
There's always an end image.
And I was like, I need something.
It's fucking late, you know, and I'm like, I need something.
Jojo comes in and like, she's going to say, hey, I'm going to go to sleep.
And I was like, hey, you want to see what I'm researching.
Nudes of the
Expedition cast
It's fucking crazy
God bless
But yeah
Expedition 303 is up there
And our creators is slowly climbing
For me too
I think it's
It's got something
It's got a sauce to it
But yeah let's see
1984
George Orwell
That's so stupid
George Jorwell
So it's written
Like JORJR
JOR space
W-L-E
it's
George Orwell
George well
That's funny
I never thought about that
Like saying it fast
It literally does sound like that
George Orwell
I like that
But he says
Have you all seen
The Splintercell anime on Netflix
If so thoughts
So here's the thing about this
I'm a bit
I'm a splinter cell guy
A lot of the audience
knows this
Both for Sacred
And
For this show
And interpersonally
not a single person has mentioned this show to me
which I think is kind of a sign
you know where like
no one said oh
this is pretty good
you know like no one's that's not been a thing I heard
I haven't heard anything bad about it either
I've heard absolutely fucking nothing about it
and so
because of course
it's fucking splinter cell
and they haven't had a game in
10 years
so yeah
no I don't know
maybe I'll check it out out of morbid curiosity
but like I don't I can't
imagine this being anything special
apparently also
do you know that ex defiant game do you remember that game
yeah the Ubisoft's
thing yeah that apparently used to be
a splinter cell game and then they retooled
into a live service so like I'm cursed
as far as that goes but um
I hate it yeah
what were you going to say
nothing because you already overtook my my my i twitched when you said that's crazy i'm at the point
where saying life service makes my twitch yeah that's that's not i understand yeah because i think about
i think about a lot yeah i was it made i've been seeing more leaks of the uh the uh blue point
they were doing the god of war life service thing and i've been seeing more like images of this and
i'm like right i can't believe i can't believe 20th anniversary it seems like everybody's expected
a remake of the first god of war
and they're like, oh, no, but a
fucking life service game was canceled.
It is very funny to me that
like, PlayStation
just refuses. They're just like,
no, you can't have that first game
again. And then Microsoft is like,
we'll remake Halo
1 again.
You know what I mean? Like,
it's kind of, like,
bro, I would have been all over a god of war one
remake.
Would be nice. There's a guy that's
using fucking, fuck, what are you using right now to make shit?
What's the?
Oh my God.
Blender?
Blender, thank you.
Oh, yeah, sorry.
Yeah.
I could.
I was like, what the hell am I?
Okay.
There's a guy right now, heavy accent, phenomenal editor.
He was just like, fuck it.
I spent months just making the intro to God of War I remastered.
And you did a phenomenal job.
Like, fucking shout out.
I wish I remembered his name, but anyone who's interested in God of War,
they must have seen this already.
Because they're like, oh,
Saddamodica refuses to do it.
Sony is obviously not green line shit
for whatever fucking reason.
But yeah,
at least said,
hey,
another Halo,
fucking remastered gears of war for Xbox.
Fucking,
even though they already had this ultimate edition
that looks fine.
I know,
didn't really.
Oh,
I think I'm seeing it right now.
Oh,
you are?
Yeah,
maybe,
a God of War remake intro by a film,
Al-A-Lie film works
That sounds right
That sounds right
It's like him throwing himself off the cliff
Yeah so that's the first one
He did it
There's an updated one he just released it a few days ago
Oh cool cool cool
Yeah yeah it's
It's with the Hydra
It's frustrating man
It's uh
I don't
I don't know
The idea that they were making a lot
Kingston would you
Would you be all over a multiplayer god of war game
Yeah, I mean, I get it.
They did it for a chain.
No, no, no.
Ascension.
God of War Ascension.
That was fun.
There is, even though everybody that played it was like, that was fun.
Like you said, it was like the same thing with The Last of Us.
People played, they're like, oh, that was fun.
But also, I don't care.
No, dude, last of us multiplayer was awesome.
I really, really, really enjoyed it.
It was fun, but it just, you know, but at the end of the day, no one is begging for that shit.
No one's like, oh, man.
Like, say if, if, it was a really good sweet treat.
It was like, oh, I can't wait for the fucking next patch.
And, oh, in, in, uh, in the last was part two.
Like, no one was talking about that.
You know what I'm saying?
They said, then they said they were going to do a multiplayer for the last part two.
And they were like, never mind.
Well, so they were working on it.
So they did it.
And then they were like, this is getting way bigger.
So we're going to actually make it its own separate thing.
And so they spun it off into its own separate thing.
And then they announced it.
And then they showed some, like, uh, screenshots of it or like concept
start of it. And then a year
later they were like, hey, Bungy came
by and they said we can't do this.
Or something like that. It wasn't that exactly.
So they had
they had a bunch of other studios
kind of come in and look at it. And Bungy
was basically, Bungy basically told them it's like
you guys are making a live service game at this point.
You should
understand because that's primarily what
we do that if you're going to do this
it's going to be all of
what you do. You need to
work around the clock on this.
And you're probably not going to be able to really make more things after this.
And then they were like, oh, yeah.
And so they canceled it.
It's great.
It's crazy to be.
It would have been cool.
I really like multiplayer in that game.
It is crazy to me that they didn't understand that, though.
Like live service games are like hell to like,
and it's not even like a secret.
Like if you're in the industry, you, if you work at naughty dog,
you undoubtedly know other people who are working on live service games who could tell you these things.
So it's crazy to me that they were just like,
what do you mean we're going to have to devote all of our time to this?
I mean, it's probably very in-house, you know,
like very, like in-house.
You know, really talk about it too much.
I get, I just, it just seems like common.
It seems like basic sense.
It's the same, it's the same reason that like, oh, hey,
it's the same way that you and I and like all of our friends can look at,
oh, wow, the games industry is kind of growing during the pandemic
because everybody's home and everybody's indoors and they're playing video games.
So a lot more people are playing than normal.
We shouldn't hire 200% more people to keep up with that because these people are eventually going to once the pandemic ends, they're going to stop playing.
And they're going to have to lay off 80% of the workforce that we just hired.
No, no, no, no, no.
That's common sense.
But like a lot of people did it anyway.
That's wrong, Chris.
You'd have to pay.
Why would you pay people more for the work they do?
or you can just hire more people and pay them less.
Your...
What?
Why not?
You could pay people for more work,
you know, expect more work out of them and pay them more for it.
Or you could hire more people and pay them less than you would ultimately end up paying the people you would hire more for more.
I guess I know.
Why do that?
Why would I spend money on work?
That is why a lot of layoffs do happen where like old talent.
Like a lot of people always like wonder like,
I can't believe they fired this like veteran developer.
from this studio and it's like that
they don't want to pay him more
it's because that veteran developer
makes probably like
$200,000 a year
because he's a veteran developer
who's been there since the beginning
and they were like
and they're like
we don't want to pay you anymore
a talented intern
and pay him in
cheese sandwiches
we'll get this 24 year old
that just finished college
has so much debt
and will work literally
for anything we tell him for
and we'll fuck this guy over
you'll get the last of
you'll get Noddy Dog
key to
chains.
You get paid in naughty dog key chains.
And it's only like eight.
It's only like eight of them.
You get you get paid in faded photographs of Neil Druckman.
With little I love Israel's on the bottom.
The little I love Israel is written on the bottom.
And it's like, isn't this cool?
That's crazy.
Wish you were here.
All right.
Let's see.
what is this?
I don't even know what this is.
This is a fucking ridiculous question
because it's like it's really schizophrenic.
What would it sound like if Scooby said the N-word?
I mean, I think you can visualize it fairly, fairly well.
Is that the name of the person?
Yeah, it's the name.
Oh, nice.
It's the name of the person.

beautiful boys. First time, right, I've been listening on the overnight shift since 2020.
Oh, sick. Thanks for writing in, my guy.
Sick, sick. He says, I'd love to hear y'all's favorite SpongeBob crash out.
Or I don't know, favorite pie flavor.
I don't know.
I don't give a shit about that.
I will say the SpongeBob Crashout that lives rent-free in my mind is the stupid dime.
Yeah, because when I need a job done, I get somebody with a job to do that.
I love how they animate him in that moment because they actually really animate him.
Like he's kind of like not animated super well.
And then in that moment they animate his teeth, his face, his eyes.
And it's going to be like, what are you getting at?
What are you saying?
That whole episode, that whole episode is full of great.
Because that's a separate one from the one I'm talking about.
It's from the same episode.
But that sequence is exactly before.
Yeah, because he goes, what are you?
That sequence, yes.
Because he goes, what are you saying?
And then he runs to the crusty crab and shakes Mr.
Craves.
Lillian, crustaceous cheap scape.
Yeah, crustaceous cheap.
Yeah, which is like vaguely slurish.
No, it is.
In the realm of SpongeBob.
Yeah.
But it's a racial descriptor.
He shakes him and then the fucking ancient dime falls out of his pocket.
Oh, right.
What makes it crazy is that he knew he had like Mr.
Crabbs.
I really don't like Mr. Crabbs.
Like, I actually genuinely despise him.
I wonder why.
He's triny.
That's probably why I don't like him.
But he's triny.
He's triny.
That's why I probably don't like him very much.
much, but it really bothers me.
And I'm just like, yo, you know you had it for a whole time.
I can.
I can say Trini.
I can say it.
I think that's a slur.
You can say it.
I think Trini is a slur.
I don't think it is.
Are you supposed to say Trins person.
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
No.
So, but yeah.
So he knew he had the dime the whole time.
He knew he had it.
Did he?
And he's, yes.
That's what you're thinking?
It's in his.
his pocket the whole time.
He shook it loose out of his
pocket.
Is that seriously what you took from that?
You can't.
No, no.
So what I was like, oh, this guy probably knew he had the dime the whole time.
He's just being a piece of shit.
What video essay did you fucking watch that convinced you that that was the point of that?
Well, it's not the point of it.
The point of it, he sucks.
And he just wanted to fire Squidward.
But the fact that he lied about that and made SpongeBob suffer, which he knew about,
fucking kill this guy.
What video essay did you watch that?
Nothing. I watched the episode.
You're using very recently.
It sounds like,
like this is what a video essay does.
It tries to use logic in a cartoon and like,
well,
logically,
the dime was in his pants and it's so large,
he'd have to have known.
So we just wanted to fire a scooter.
No,
that's not the point of that at all.
He's just a shitty guy.
No,
he fucking literally just,
he didn't know his dime was there.
It got shook out.
And he's like,
oops,
my bad.
And then the joke is it's so large that he should have known.
Derek, does that,
yes,
I,
okay,
that is very,
very possible,
right?
That is objectively true.
Yes,
no,
yes,
yes,
yes,
that's true.
But based on Mr.
Crabs's behavior throughout the entirety of we knowing him,
does him making squid words suffer just because sound like it's an unreasonable thing to
you?
Actually, yes,
because he only cares about money.
he has actively made him suffer before.
He doesn't care.
At the expense of saving money or there's,
there's a thing that always has to do with cost efficiency.
It's always,
if it's convenient for him,
fuck it,
everybody could burn.
It's like,
oh,
deliver this,
we don't sell pizza here.
He mashes a burger in a pizza.
I get it.
I get it,
but like,
it is a racist behavior.
Which is awesome.
I forgot about that.
No,
he,
he gets like three crabby patties and does something.
It's a piece.
He's just magic.
He's just a mythical creature at this point.
Wait.
Is it,
wait,
hold on.
It's magical.
Did this really happen?
Yeah.
You don't remember.
We don't sell pizzas.
And then he just.
Immediately just mashes into a pizza.
He literally turns it into a pizza.
It's funny.
That's such a great fucking episode, man.
The pioneers.
That is crazy.
The pie is the dry.
He can't.
for miles. As a matter of fact,
I just stumbled upon
a clip of him doing the crusty
crab and like the soul, like the bluesy
crusty craye, yeah, yeah, but then somebody
was like, we are Charlie
it looks like he's singing, we are Charlie Craig.
It's really, it's like, of course.
I forgot that this is,
I totally forgot, like I remember
the Krusty Krab pizza episode very,
very well. Yeah. I totally
forgot that this is how it started though.
That was, he took like, he took like
14 burgers and massed him
a pizza. He just turned them into a pizza. He just made them that way. I love that that truck driver
is trying to kill SpongeBob when he starts breakdancing. He's doing the pioneer fucking call.
Like, oh, this is. And then he's like, whatever he says something, something break dancers. And he's like, look, he's
stopping. And then it close up on his face. And he's like, like, freaking out. It's so fucking funny.
That is my favorite. That is my favorite crash out, though.
like with the dime because that's the one that comes to mind the that's the first one that
comes to mine i'm sure there's like other ones that are pretty good but like yeah i like the guy
that's what did you put what did you do to my drink oh i i i you what is iconic delivery
that i don't even think they understood the magic of when they when they when they recorded it
i know right like i don't know how you record that and then you don't you what what did you do to
like, Drake.
I love that image of him, too, being like...

Like there's a specific image of that fish where he's got his neck craned outward, like 90 degrees.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's another one.
There's another one.
My favorite moment.
My favorite moment is when they throw, he through when the flying Dutchman throws squidward into hell effectively.
Oh, yeah.
He's just constantly falling.
And it's like, oh, that's a crazy moment also.
And there's also the moment where he's like, when he's like, it's a dump star.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I think I thought you would know about stupid stars.
I think that's another funny moment too.
Like there's so many,
I think like the first genuine five seasons of Spundraub
have some of the insane moments.
The,
I typed in Squidward falling and through hell is auto complete.
That is insane.
I forgot about that.
The imagery,
the imagery of the void.
is crazy. Yeah, he opens up a zipper
in the fucking air.
Do you remember the who puts you on the planet moment
where he's like doing the dance? And he's
like, that's stupidest dance. It's funny.
About reports, who put you
on the planet? I don't remember that, actually.
Or there's an other one when he's like, what you call it?
I actually can't even imagine
the word planet. You should be floating in a box down
the hill or down a lake.
When the old lady says the plaintiff in
and he's like, he'll just put you in a box.
floating down a lake.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's from one of the later ones.
It is?
Yeah, for sure.
I don't remember that when I was a kid.
But, uh, dude, the imagery that is like flying by Squidward as he's falling through
the void here is hysterical.
Yeah.
Like, it's, because none of it.
It's all just like these genuinely horrifying faces.
Yeah.
Like, kind of remind me of something that would be, that would live at a rock bottom.
Right.
Yeah, all of it.
Except, like, highly detailed and, like, painted.
There's a little skull.
with a snake just falling out of its mouth.
Insane shit.
But yeah, anyway, there's a lot of good ones.
When he's making fun of Patrick at the fucking at the game,
he's like, you can't do.
They don't even have fingernails.
What, that's not nice.
How can you hear it?
You don't have ears.
He's just tearing Patrick down for being disabled.
It's insane.
He is disabled.
He's profoundly disabled.
Yeah.
In every way,
imagine.
Patrick's a jackass.
Spudderob is annoying,
but he's not a shithead.
Patrick is literally a shithead.
Spongerap's been kind of a shithead sometimes.
There's some episodes where he's like...
At first he wasn't.
He becomes kind of an asshole for sure.
But at first he's just innocent.
No, I know.
But there's episodes where he's like clearly like
bothering Squidward in a way that's like brother.
Like it's like you're so stupid.
I know in universe he doesn't understand that that's
what he's doing, but like,
think about when he,
um,
when he,
he,
he,
he,
he,
he, he,
he,
he,
his, uh,
he got,
his, uh,
his,
his, uh,
smudhap's house got eaten.
And he's like,
oh,
he takes up most of the fucking pillow.
Like he just,
like,
like,
like a dick,
like a complete piece of shit.
And then,
you know,
like,
does,
but that's good.
The same thing back.
Good night,
SpongeBob.
I love that close up.
After he said SpongeBob,
like three seconds later.
and the grass with a glass breaking sound yeah it's an iconic sound because it's like
fucking the the image is painted yeah i'm course but but his eyes are animated and so it's like
it's it's good stuff all right let's see uh would you choose and why the fuck is this
Oh, okay, I read this right.
Hold on.
I got to scroll down a little bit more
because we read some of these already
in the previous episode.
What, uh, is there anything in the news?
Anything happening while we've been recording?
Any, any updates?
Oh, I don't think so.
I have Twitter open on my team as well.
Zoran Mamdani has been bone saw.
Who could have saw this coming?
Such your mouth, you mediocre clarinet player.
Mediocre?
That scene is crazy
He turns all the way around
His underwear
Or the wrong direction
Shut your bow
I love SpongeBob man
That show is
Skull connected
There's so many good memories for me
It's insane
Yeah it's good stuff
Trump and Mom Dani's trending
Let's see
Uh oh
I wonder if anything's happening
Yep
He got bones sod man
I'm telling you
Oh that's so weird
Seeing him stand next to him
Uh
And Trump, after calling him a communist and everything, I'm sure that it's just going to be all cordial and shit.
Like, I hate this.
Yeah, I hate the way politics.
He's going to destroy New York and all this shit.
And now they're going to play politics.
Like, that's fucking so annoying, dude.
People say it's like pro wrestling.
Oh, yeah, 100%.
I'm like, bro, you just, he's literally kind of trying to get you killed.
And they know, you're like, you're going to shake hands with him and smile at him and shit.
It really sucks because it's like, the, unfortunately, he's, he's, he's, he's like, unfortunately,
He has to work with him because he's the fucking president.
That's what I mean. That is, whoa.
Sadly.
Uh-oh.
It's, that's crazy.
Yeah.
So, so yeah, he did bring, uh, so as predicted, as we predicted on the show, just before the show began, uh, Trump brought in Muhammad bin Salman, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia.
And he did, in fact, cut Mondani into seven pieces on air.
On air.
So apparently New York was going to be what's called it.
Start is going to have a really great mayor says Donald Trump.
And then meanwhile,
Zan Mondani says that he had a great meeting with the president.
Yeah,
I mean,
that makes sense.
I mean,
because the thing about,
the thing about Trump is like he just,
he just believes whoever's in front of him.
Like,
he's kind of like Joe Rogan.
Like,
I have no doubt that Mom Dani went in there is like,
hey,
this is what I'm going to do.
And I think it'll work.
And he'll be like,
and Trump's like,
because he doesn't believe in anything.
Right.
He's like,
yeah,
Okay, whatever.
I don't know.
Yeah, he says, I feel very confident that he can do a good job, Trump says, about
Mamdani.
The thing is like, like, I, it's this complete thing.
And then his next advisor is going to tell him, could you tweet up that he's a communist
again?
Right.
Exactly.
That's, yeah.
The problem that comes from this is like, like, I, I know I can say this as someone
with no political power that doesn't really have people relying on me that I wouldn't even
shake Trump's hand.
but the problem is that now this person, like, and it is, it is, it is defending a politician,
which is something I don't often like doing, but it's like this person has to work with them
because he's the one that signs all the federal checks that come to your state.
So you have, or your city, so you have to like be respectful, I guess somewhat.
But at the same time is like, you called me a communist and you literally,
your words were literal violence towards.
me. Yeah, but that's all
of it. So it's like
how do you, so like how do you like
it's how do you circle that square? I don't know
I think I don't know. The thing is like I think people know
like Trump, dude, he doesn't believe anything.
That's kind of the thing. It's like he's just
there. He's writing he's writing it
out. Yeah. Yeah. He's
never had conviction. He's never
had conviction for anything. It's just
he's one of power. That's it.
Yeah. I think
Ultimately, I think Trump on mom
Trump on Mamdani.
I think he's going to surprise some conservative people, actually.
And some very liberal people he won't surprise because they already like him.
Yeah.
I mean,
that's,
I think that's objective truth because if he gets to do some of the things he wants to do,
the fucking conservatives that live there are going to be like,
oh,
things are better.
You know?
Yeah.
And then like,
and then maybe,
maybe,
some socialist,
some socialist policies are just good in general.
Yeah,
you know,
the fucking the FDNY?
you know like
shut the fuck up right yeah
rent controls a good idea
oh I don't have to get raped in the ass
with rent weird
what a weird concept
child free child care is a
good you know what's crazy
you know what a real excuse
you know a real argument I've heard before is it's like
well if rent if rent is cheap
then rich people will just buy those apartments
for less
I've heard this before
look man
forward down forward fucking heavy punch you fucking just deped that mother
way that's crazy you get the you get the three hits the
the gut the upper neck and the jaw and it's like this guy's dead
this guy just out this guy just third strike show you kin this guy it's over
i'm so i'm so just stupid talking points that are put you know it is a some rich grift
piece of shit put out that talking point
and see how it'll work because it is not a real argument that any regular person would ever make.
You're like, no one would say that.
Oh, the rich.
Okay.
Yeah.
I've heard this.
It's so crazy because it's just like, okay, a rich person can afford a nice apartment in New York City and a poor person can't.
But what if a poor person can afford a nice apartment in the city and a rich person could also because that's how price works.
I don't know, man.
It's insane.
It's genuinely bewildering.
I don't know.
Hello, hello.
I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of Smart Talks with IBM.
I recently spoke with IBM's new director of research, Jake Embatta.
We discussed his vision for the future of quantum computing.
At IBM research, what we always do is answer what is the future of computing,
whether it's coming up with new algorithms, coming up with better AI,
coming up with quantum, or coming up with just how.
how do different accelerators go together?
It's our DNA to answer the question of what is the future.
Isn't it a perfect problem for IBM
because you kind of need to have a legacy of building stuff?
Yes.
Building actual physical machines.
Yeah, it's why I came to IBM.
I wanted the experience, the culture of building hard things
that others have not done before.
Where do you imagine we are in the timeline of this technology?
There will come a point when it will mature.
Right?
My cell phone is a mature technology at this point.
How far are we from that point with Quantum?
By 2029, we'll build the first fault-tolerant quantum computer.
That is one that can run a very, very large, large problem.

My grandmother got a three-bedroom apartment in New York City in, like,
1989. No, that's too early.
Like, 1987 for like $700 a month.
That same apartment right now is 34.
You said that was too early, but then you moved to an earlier year.
Sorry, that's too recent.
That's misspoke.
Wow.
But it's like the fact that that was ever a thing is crazy because it is getting an apartment,
three bedroom apartment anywhere in New York is at least a few thousand dollars.
You said it's not how much is 34 you said?
It's like 34 now.
34?
Jesus.
That is, and granted, the Grand Congorz is probably the best part of the Bronx that isn't like co-op city.
Yeah, I heard somebody.
I was checking up on somebody.
That might be wrong, actually.
Let me check, actually.
Let me see how much it is.
I was checking up on someone that lives in Oregon.
And they were telling me they were like, talking about, oh, I was looking for new apartments.
And like, there was these two bedrooms that were like, I didn't want to pay like a thousand bucks.
And I was like, two bedroom for a thousand bucks.
I was like, God damn.
I wish.
I fucking wish.
bro. That sounds amazing.
When I was in Vegas, though, they had these brand new three-bedroom apartments for $1,700.
And I, every once in a while my brain kind of lingers back to that, that thought.
Because, you know, I'm paying two-bedroom, $2,400 versus, you know, three-bedroom for $17.
You're like, God, damn.
It's crazy, yeah.
And they're brand new.
You know, no asbestos, no nothing.
You know what I mean?
No lead.
No lead.
Right now, right now for a two-bedroom apartment in a building I grew up in.
This is insane because I can remember the layout of this building.
This is probably not a B apartment.
The B apartments were bigger because it was like the A apartment was on the left side.
And the B was like directly in front.
So it had most of like the hallway area to be big.
Yeah.
But I can remember this now.
And the rent for a two-bedroom is $2,700 on the Grand Congress in the Bronx.
and a three bedroom is $4,100.
That's so great.
That is so insane.
I'm in the Bronx?
The Grand Concourse.
That's the best part.
That's the best place to be located in the Bronx.
That's the best place to be located in the Bronx.
Look up some Manhattan shit, huh?
It's not worth it.
I mean,
it's just more but curiosity.
I've been looking at Manhattan apartments like every month for like years.
Yeah.
It's probably going to be depressed.
So if I want to get a,
If I want to get a three bedroom, right, like one, one, a studio, a master bedroom and, uh, let me, let me look up.
My future bastard child, you know.
Okay.
So what are you, what are you looking for in Manhattan?
Yeah.
So Manhattan.
I want to, I want to be able to see.
It doesn't matter.
Just just, just, I trust your judgment.
You're, you're my agent.
I want to, yeah, okay.
Okay.
So what are you looking for?
I want, I want three bedrooms.
I wanted to be at least like 1,200 square feet at least.
Three bedrooms.
Uh, I can't do square feet because that's a different.
That's a whole.
That's a whole.
That's a whole no good thing.
No problem.
But three bedrooms.
I'll do one and a half baths in Manhattan.
Yeah, one a half.
That's all right.
Let's see.
$4,500, $5,000, $8,200.
$2,500.
I'm mentioning, all I'm mentioning is all in hell's kitchen.
I haven't gone down yet.
$8,000.
$15,000.
15,000 for three bedrooms and three bath.
My God, three bathrooms.
Everybody's no one bathroom.
Hey, guys, we can do it?
Five a piece.
You guys want to move there?
Derek, there's no one.
9,000.
I'm just not going to move back there ever again.
I'm going to make you.
4,500.
I'm seeing a lot of 5,000.
Mom Donnie is going to make the rent 500 a month, okay?
Derek, Derek.
I don't want to live here.
Okay.
Why would I move to New York if I don't want to live?
Let me give you a hypothetical.
Mom Donnie calls you on the phone right now.
It says Mom Donnie, you pick it up and he's like, hey, Kingston, I know you you're sick of living in New York, but I'm going to give you a three bedroom apartment for $2,800 a month.
Would you join me?
No, but I give
that somebody else.
It's like, it's only for you, Kingston.
That's so fucked up.
I need authentic New York blood
back in this city to rebuild it.
I can't do that.
That's crazy.
You're a piece of shit.
I can't do that.
You're a terrible person.
You can just take it.
Because you can just take it and sublet it.
You could sublet it.
That's true.
I could sublet it,
but I feel like I feel like I just should,
I shouldn't do that.
I don't know.
Like I, as dumb as it is,
as dumb as truly stupid as it is,
I feel like I should.
not do things like that because I am preventing someone.
Sublating it is a better idea.
And I'm pretty sure once we'll talk to you.
Like, yeah, sublet it.
Just give it to somebody and let somebody else live there.
Well, listen, Kingston.
And since you're not doing it, unfortunately, the only thing I was able to do was give it to you.
But now it's going to go to a Christian nationalist and he's going to make the entire apartment complex a Nazi haven.
And because of you and because of you, our whole plan hinged on you.
And so now the rent is actually going to be raised by, I think.
about by about 600%
Hey man
For everybody
It's big it in me
That's just big it in me bro
You still even even if it was gonna be raised
You wouldn't do it
For everyone
I'd be like oh I have to help the rest of
I have to help all my family still there
Has to my 30 something cousins in New York
I gotta go back
You imagine if you didn't and they found out
That you could have just stopped it
by accepting a very cheap apartment.
I would get fucked up.
They would be like an official manhood for Kingston.
I would get fucked up.
By my family,
I would get fucked up.
My family would put out a bounty.
They would put a,
they would have a Thanksgiving.
For Thanksgiving,
they would all dine on your dead body.
Because he would be hunted and displayed.
They fucking smoke him.
Even Harlem, dude.
So there's a clip.
Harlem's crazy overpricing, man.
God damn.
There's a clip.
There's a clip.
By the way, Zillow is a terrible, like, you can, I've looked, there are places you can get for, like, more or less, like, what you would pay here.
But, oh, no, absolutely.
You're not going to find it.
You're not going to find it through Zillow.
Yeah, but, I, I don't know.
I would, I would still say, I think New York is still second most expensive.
No, it's, I mean, well, San Francisco is the most expensive.
Yeah.
I think second is New York and then third is here.
Third might, maybe, yeah.
Yeah, I think that's probably true.
And I think four is like Austin.
Really?
So, no way.
Well, maybe now.
Texas has gone.
Do everybody move there?
Everybody looked in California and it was like,
oh,
we don't like how California has somewhat decent rules.
Let's move to Austin.
Most expensive cities in the U.S.
protections.
I think Chicago's one of them for sure.
Top the 10 most expensive cities as of February this year.
So it's a little outdated,
but like shy.
So Chicago is expensive city.
What?
So one is Los Angeles.
That can't be right.
It makes sense.
I mean, that's where all the piece of shit fucking celebrities live, mostly.
I guess.
They're all in California.
So it says Los Angeles, then two is San Diego.
Really?
Oh, I do.
And Diego's mad expensive.
I'm surprised.
I just didn't even think about that.
Anaheim, San Francisco.
We don't live there.
That's why we visit.
Is it Anaheim hills?
Not Anaheim?
What the fuck?
Well, I don't know.
It's famously not expensive.
Well, I'm, pro.
I don't know, man.
He's looking at those?
Oh, it's red.
Oh, it's redfin.
So this is probably like more about like buying.
houses, I guess. Probably property.
Maybe, yeah, most expensive places
to live in the, well, no, I'm looking, highest rents, I guess, right?
Yeah. Yeah, I'll try that. Rents.
States are highest rent. In U.S.
cities.
Oh my God, the AI overview is such fucking garbage.
It fucking sets of the highest rent prices,
2024 edition. Okay.
Top large
The fuck is happening.
No, yeah.
So we got San Jose.
We got San Diego, San Francisco, New York Angeles, Riverside, Seattle, Boston.
New York is eight.
Sacramento, Miami, Washington, Denver, Phoenix, Orlando, Portland.
New York is crazy.
That can't this.
I, this can't be right.
Is it by like, there's got to be this.
It's average monthly rent.
Average monthly rent.
That's impossible.
I guess average.
I guess that feels very difficult for me to believe.
Chris, that's the thing.
New York City is huge.
So I think it has like the widest, wild disparity, you know?
Like the, it's not enough for the like Manhattan.
Because there's niggas renting two boxes, you know,
when he's rents shoe boxes that are fucking $1100 a month, you know.
Right.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah.
I mean, I, I suppose.
That's just crazy to me.
I guess it does.
Yeah.
I get, huh.
You said,
San Jose was one of them.
Yeah.
San Jose is what you call it?
It's
I just saw some of these number one.
I just can't.
This is so difficult for me to believe.
I mean,
I guess it's true because the data
says so, but like I mean.
It is legit data, I guess.
I don't even thought about
San Jose.
Well, no one really lives there.
That's the thing.
People go there to school and they leave.
You know, no one lives in San Jose.
I was like San Diego.
I was like, who the fuck's even there?
So there's a clip I've been wanting to mention for a little bit.
I found it a little bit earlier.
We were talking about other things.
So there's a clip from the Mamdani meeting.
Oh.
Where a reporter says, are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?
And Mamdani says, I've spoken about.
And then Trump goes, that's okay.
You could just say, yes, I don't mind.
That's real.
This is a real, like, verbatim.
it's a crazy world man
it's a crazy fucking universe
yeah
yeah he like taps him on the arm he's like that's okay
he could say yes I don't mind
you can say you know my fascist
I know what I am you know I'm trying to crush democracy
I'm honestly just not trying to go to jail
I really don't give a fuck what happens
I really don't give a fuck what happens
that is what his entire presidency feels like
yeah as soon as he won
think about it every time they ask him about like
accomplishments. He just says fake shit. Like, oh, I stopped eight wars. Oh, look at what I'm doing
to the White House. Oh, look at this. It's like bullshit. While his freaks behind the scenes are the
ones that are setting policies and shit. I do like the idea. Like I do, like, I do think if he gets a
chance to run a third time, he will run a third time. But if he doesn't get a chance, I think
he'll just be like, oh, I'm just not going to go to jail, though, right? I think he might
actually just be too sick to do it. But I think, like by then, you know? People think he might not
make it. Yeah.
But I will say it's very funny to see this meeting and him being like, yeah, I think he's going to do a good job or whatever.
And like, it's funny to remember like during the mayoral election where Cuomo was like, you think this guy's going to stand up to Trump?
Hello, hello. I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Smart Talks with IBM.
I recently sat down with IBM's chairman and CEO, Arvin Krishna.
And I asked him, how can companies use AI?
to its fullest potential to create smarter business.
My one advice to them, pick areas you can scale.
Don't pick the shiny little toys on the side.
For example, if anybody has more than 10% of what they had for customer service 10 years ago,
they're already five years behind it.
If anybody is not using AI to make their developers who write software,
30% more productive today
with the goal of being 70% more productive.
Yeah. Wow.
So we are not asking our clients
to be the first experiment on it.
We say, you can leverage what we did.
We're happy to bring out all our learnings,
including what needs to change in the process,
because the biggest change is not technology.
It's getting people to accept
that there's a different way to do things.

He's going to steamroll him.
And you see this and he's like he clearly just doesn't care, you know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So there was no need to even have a tough person there.
It's just all.
I don't care.
I technically control that city too.
I control all of it.
I mean,
I've got bombs in my bedroom.
Trump just looks like he always just wants to go sit down and watch TV.
Like if you look at every clip of him now, he's like, he's over it.
He's like, ah.
There's absolutely no enthusiasm.
It's completely post-stroke.
Like, he's gone.
He's like, I just, fuck, I got to do what now?
All right, let's go.
I want to go watch porn.
And to be fair, honestly.
That'd be awesome.
If he just said, he just let it slip.
That'd be, if they got to cool it with these IDs on the porn sites.
They're making it harder.
It is really annoying.
I don't know which VPN to choose.
I don't understand.
I got to use these IDs.
It's really bothers some.
What does it even mean?
What is the vehicle porn network?
I don't understand what.
It's a verified porn network.
It's verified for pornography.
I don't have any right now.
I don't know how to use it.
I don't know.
Melania took my password away.
He's really mad about the Obaba situation.
Oh, okay.
So here's a question.
Here's a good question.
It's a ride in.
regarding a recent episode that we had.
A blunderbuss loaded with white phosphorus rodin.
Nice.
It's pretty dangerous.
That's a dangerous.
Brutalist creatures.
That's a next level thing.
How much white phosphorus can you be exposed to before you die?
Not.
I got to say, man.
I assume it's pretty fucking fatal.
Like a gram?
Ask the chat.
I think a gram is too much?
I don't know.
You're asking the exact wrong person.
I'm sure there's somebody who listens to the shit.
show who's inexplicably an expert on like chemicals who knows this shit inside and out because
for some reason we have like random experts listening to the show but uh so this ride in says
not a question but i wanted to add to that cryptid discussion or we were debating like what is
and is not a cryptid yeah uh cryptids are literally animals albeit strange ones monsters like
the wendigo thunderbirds werewolves the jersey devil
and dragons aren't cryptids
due to their clear mythological
literary origins and
mystic abilities.
I don't know. The Jersey Devil isn't
a crypted?
Yeah, it's like some, isn't it like a goat thing or some?
I don't remember.
Wasn't it? Wasn't it devil a goat parts?
I don't remember.
Wasn't the Jersey devil like,
I don't know, a fucking sheet
technically? A what? Wasn't it actually
a sheet? Well, like somebody saw a sheet
and they made up a whole tail? Is that what you're saying? Yeah.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't just a sheep.
I mean, probably.
Yeah, maybe.
I could see that.
But the tail was based on like some,
some broad, right?
Or if she turned it, I forgot with the whole tail.
I don't remember anything about it.
Something like dumb broad that turns into like a devil or some shit
because she probably had a kid out of wetlock or something.
That's crazy.
The writing says,
I got drowned and she was like, well, I got to become a devil.
The writing says,
Bigfoot, Chupacabra, and Nessie aren't magic.
They have no basis in pre-existing legend being flesh and blood like any other animal.
Even the mothman was initially reported as simply a giant bird.
In other words, if it's magical, it ain't a cryptid.
The confusion is understandable as the word has been applied constantly where it shouldn't be.
So, okay.
So Bigfoot, chupacabre, nessie, these are just like random animals that nobody kind of understands.
But if we assume psychic abilities, just becomes more of an eldritch kind of thing.
Has the lexicon not been updated, though?
You know what I mean?
Like,
uh,
maybe this is how it started,
but now it's kind of widely accepted.
It's like more broad.
I mean,
ultimately the way language works is that like,
whatever people unilaterally agree on or like,
or mostly agree on,
that's kind of what.
Yeah.
Becomes.
Yeah.
So like,
I mean,
like at this point,
Chupacobber probably is encrypted,
you know,
by,
by modern.
It's kind of like how literally does it mean literally.
Yeah.
I was talking about that in indefinite.
Yeah,
exactly.
Yeah.
Literally.
it means seriously more than it means literally.
Yeah. Yeah, literally.
So, yeah, I don't know. I mean, I appreciate that.
That does make, that makes more sense.
But I worry that like the lexicon has just been so corrupted at this point that like it.
English has been raped into the floor. It's gone.
Yeah. We will defer to him if we ever need like we go to court for some reason.
If we ever get sued for mislabeling crypto.
Not if when we do.
Yeah, when we do get sued.
We're going to call this patron.
Like, hey, man, we need your help.
Hey, bud.
Sheds are getting really grisly out here.
You got some time to spare?
This guy shows up and he's actually accrupted.
He's just so, he's been, he's been, he's been a crypt in this entire time.
He's literally the Lochness monster.
He's the Loch Niz monster.
Wait, but you, you just said, I'm like, fuck.
He picked.
By the way, it keeps it, I love that you picked the one cryptid that is like least likely to be able to interact with us.
I know.
That's what makes it funny.
That's what makes it fucking hilarious.
So you can, okay, I'd be like, all right, you're.
Oh, all right.
You can talk and you've been listening to the podcast and you subscribe to our Patreon underwater.
That's crazy.
Can you answer me this?
You get a computer for 12 hours a day.
For four hours a day, he's near a computer.
And he's like, I got to subscribe to the Star Tank Patreon.
And he goes back under.
Mr.
Moncer, I don't know your pronouns, but is Uncle Phil underwater with you?
Is Uncle Phil alive?
I need to know this.
Uncle Phil jumps onto the call.
He says, hey, chilling.
Hey, fellas.
Hey, what's up, guys?
How you been?
What's going on?
I'm James Avery.
And I'll be like, I'm not dead.
I'm Uncle Phil.
No, James Avery's dead.
Oh, okay.
Sorry.
Right, right.
I forgot.
It's the actual character of Uncle Phil.
He's been shocked zoned into life.
Will.
William!
He's still calling for William.
Some say you could still hear Uncle Phil screaming for William in the, in Lake Loch Ness.
That's insane.
That is so dog shit.
What a stupid, by the way.
This is such a very specific inside joke that only people who have seen that extra ammo understand.
Right.
But by the way, it is public.
So anyone who's confused.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
The Independence Day 2, just type it in in YouTube.
It's there.
You can get all the insight.
You can get it.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
Obie won't you blow me, road.
He says, hey, hello, fellas.
I have a question regarding the intersection of culture and race.
Well, we're the best people to talk about.
We're the best people to talk about.
Ethnic diversity here is so vast.
He says, obviously, if a black child was adopted by a white family, you would still consider that child black.
However, if a white passing Latino were adopted by a white family, would you consider them to be Latino?
Same question goes for a white child adopted by a Latino family.
I feel that if you get, I feel that if you get into a deep genetic answer, you probably die on some eugenics-ass hill.
I don't know.
Culture, culture, race, and ethnicity are all different things.
So it matters.
Like, you were genetically Hispanics.
though, but you are not culturally Hispanic very much.
You can be culturally anything, I would argue.
Yeah, culture comes from nationality for the most part.
Yes.
And upbringing and upbringing.
It's like we look about Canela Alvarez.
That his genetically, he is from the UK, you know, and so, but.
I think it's probably German.
He's probably, probably German.
He's like he's somewhere over there.
And yeah, so the person that grows up with a wife family,
especially if he has a white last name
that's like an Anglo or whatever the fuck
you know like a European ass last name from the West
that's barring like a Latin ass last name
you would never know right you wouldn't even
you would have no fucking idea if they were just white passing
adopted by a white family you wouldn't know so of course
you wouldn't consider them like like Hispanic or something
you'd just be like oh I feel like Hispanic people
I feel like Hispanic people in particular
are where like the race
conversation just dies
it just that our ethnicity does it doesn't matter because of the fact that we are
I would argue we're the most diverse looking group of people by like a large large large
margin it's an extreme large what would you call it like variety like it's just a spectrum
it's all encompassing because it's from like Hispanic covers so many different parts of the world
technically right no Hispanic this means the Americas I think second to
I think Latino
Latino means if you have Latin blood
So take that's where
Filipinos and Portuguese
And people from Spain
I feel like the
Well I guess the
The Americas is pretty large portion of the world
I guess if I'm not
Yeah
That's what yeah
I don't I don't know why
That's why I was saying I was like
America's yeah
Like it's like that one place
I understand I understand what you're
Yeah I just mean that like there's
the amount of people that live in
North and South America
is it's such a
and it's such a large portion of
you know like so I was just kind of like
all right of course there's going to be a lot of
diversity in appearance
just by this year
kind of like okay Africa's one fucking continent
but like it's
there's a
on Instagram there's a these people
were playing a guesty ethnicity like you're playing
one of those things and within it's like a joke
oh Steve Somali
I know I know stop
Oh, what do you send that?
What did you?
He was me.
It was me.
But I get it.
I think Dutch Somali.
I like how.
Dude, in Somali?
Hello, hello.
I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of Smart Talks with IBM.
I recently spoke with IBM's new director of research, Jake Gambata.
We discussed his vision for the future of quantum computing.
At IBM research, what we always do,
is answer what is the future of computing, whether it's coming up with new algorithms,
coming up with better AI, coming up with quantum, or coming up with just how do different
accelerators go together. It's our DNA to answer the question of what is the future.
Isn't it a perfect problem for IBM because you kind of need to have a legacy of building stuff?
Yes.
Building actual physical machines.
Yeah, it's why I came to IBM. I wanted the experience
the culture of building hard things that others have not done before.
Where do you imagine we are in the timeline of this technology?
There will come a point when it will mature.
Right?
My cell phone is a mature technology at this point.
How far are we from that point with Kondo?
By 2029, we'll build the first fault-tolerant quantum computer.
That is one that can run a very, very large problem.

In Somalia and in Ethiopia, it's like there's no, it is, when I was in fucking Norway,
I was like, Ethiopians, like immediately, like, just clocked them immediately.
I was like, what's up guys?
You're Ethiopian.
I can tell you're, you're like, Somali, Somali, Somali, Somali, Somali.
Yeah, have a distinct look.
It's like people from what to call it, people from Polynesians.
people have a particular look.
Yes.
You know, it's right.
Sure.
Yeah.
It's just how, you know, things working off.
So like a lot of cultures are Americans.
We have a weird perspective where we are one of the few cultures that is like you
will very likely see a mix of any kind of weird thing that is not so common in the rest of the
world.
Unfortunately, so forced to be mixed around with each other opposed to everywhere else.
Also, whereas I'm meeting with Hispanic, we were forced to mix other people.
We didn't have a choice in a matter.
A post-off.
And grab hips and.
made it happen.
Let's just like, you know.
Yeah.
I'm fine.
I have four ethnicities.
I'm four ethnicities.
And they're like, what?
That's insane.
And I'm like, I guess.
To the bless of the world.
Your parents, of course.
Yeah, of course I am.
But like, they're like, yeah, your grandparents didn't meet some cool people in boats that
were like, hey, he wanted to do something cool.
And then 10 years later you'd be a different language.
So it's just.
It's, it's, that kind of is weird.
What do you say, call me?
It's called you a foreigner.
That's crazy.
But yeah, fucking.
I don't know, man.
I think you could be culturally,
and I mean,
like Eminem is like culturally black.
Black.
You know what I mean?
Like,
like,
yeah,
but yeah,
but no,
but no,
you know,
but yeah,
but yeah,
but no,
he's not black.
That's what I said.
It's interesting how I didn't say that.
He's,
he's culturally black,
right?
Yes.
But he's not, though.
Okay.
If he's, okay, well, if he's not, then no, then you can't be culturally related because he is the most culturally something else compared to anybody I've ever seen.
He grew up very close to blackness, but he's not culturally black.
I don't think he would even say he's culturally black.
I'd be like, no, I'm not.
Why would he not say that?
The nigger word du rags.
Who else wears du rugs?
But that doesn't mean he's culturally black, though.
I think that's more culturally black than anybody is culturally anything, is what I'm saying.
He grew up around a lot of black.
But I think that's the problem.
I think when it comes to like saying someone is like this.
What does culturally black mean to you, Kingston?
I think culturally black is like because I.
What is culturally anything to you?
It's rough, right?
Because like you could grow up around a culture, but that doesn't make you that culture.
It means you're close to you're near that culture.
You're aware of it.
You're appreciated it.
I think it's exactly what it doesn't mean it.
I don't know if that's exactly true.
It's like you're not black, but you've completely absorbed black culture your entire life.
So what the fuck else would that even mean?
I feel like to call yourself culturally black then invalidate.
It also kind of steps into the place where I'm like, well, yeah, more culturally black.
It makes it a competition that you could be more culturally black.
To some people, they do that, but I disagree with that.
But there's some people that absolutely do that.
I kind of disagree with that too, but also at the same time, it's like, that's weird.
It's, look, let's say this.
It is, it's disrespectful to say this.
But Eminem, according to black American culture of how people understand it, is more culturally black than myself.
that sounds completely disrespectful
but he's not black
like I am a black man
and he that's something he can never be
but as far as what people
again though
I agree with you
I agree with you
you can take problem with it
but at the same time
what people understand
what black American culture is
even though there are
different subsex of it
but just a large thing
like a large broad spectrum
is what we're talking about
a culture is generalities
but that's what's crazy
because that's not like
yes
but like that's also just not what if you're a white man that grew up in China and you're completely absorbed in a Chinese culture in a culture of Hong Kong well what else would you call that but but that's a different thing is then like that's that's where nationality comes into part of it you know because at that moment your national your nationality so okay it's San Francisco you're now American but you're in a Chinese culture within San Francisco yeah it's like oh I'm I'm white but I grew up around a lot of Chinese people so and you I've grown up with not that
That's not your culture exactly, you know.
See, it sounds like culture can only belong to.
I feel like you're getting defensive about it because we're talking about black specifically.
It's not.
It's any other thing.
Black is weird.
Black unfortunately is the weird one.
No, I think it's, I think it's you are it so you're more defensive about it.
Well, no, I don't mind.
You could be culturally gay.
Like, I've been people who work culturally gay.
People who live in, you don't know.
No, I'm not even kidding.
Because for me, it's like even this.
It's a culture.
I can, I can argue that he's lived the era.
quotes what the black experience is more than I have. I'm not going to deny that. But he just
grew up poor in the hood. That's all it is. That's not being black. That's where the problem
comes from. No one's saying that's being black, but culturally, unfortunately, because of poverty,
but that is a reality, Kingston. I get, yeah, I get it. The blues is a part of that culture
because of their circumstances. I'm aware. I'm aware of those things. Well, then what do we
I think at the same time, it's like, that's where it's like, this is kind of, this is kind of, this feels like it's in a weird place of like, well, yeah, if you grow up poor in a hood area, you're effectively grew up as a black person.
No, it's not what a black person.
And it's like, that sounds like what a racist would say, but no, we're not saying that.
Like if you're being like, oh, I grew up poor and I'm like, because there's poor white neighborhoods.
You're culturally, but we're not talking about that.
We're talking about where he grew up.
with certain types of people,
you know, which is like, this is a black American experience,
and he's had that experience.
He's had, he's had that experience,
but I don't think he would ever come out and just say that.
He's missing the racial part of that experience.
That's a huge part of that experience.
Thanks.

That's a part of it, Kingston.
That is a part.
I'd argue that's the biggest part.
I don't know if that's the biggest part.
Your skin color.
I don't know if I would say that's the biggest part.
Like you say if you're being a black American, if you can argue that.
You can.
You definitely can argue that.
But I would say.
there are if you are surrounded like say in in um in like say south central when you kind of surround
yourself or just let's even go outside of black american experience just say chinese american
when you just surround yourself with that and you don't really step outside of it so you didn't
you don't really even experience racism in the way that it could have you've been safeguarded from it
which a lot of people are in in that way so it's like it doesn't have to be but it absolutely can be
and so like i like i'm not like i don't i understand what you mean where it's the idea of like i
He experienced the, that's why for me, it's like, he's like, like, he looked up in the hood.
That's what his experience is.
Sure.
I wouldn't say it's the black experience.
If you want to say, I would say it's a hood.
He's the hood experience.
And often a lot of black people experience that experience.
If you want, if you want to, if you want to say that's where I would go.
If you want two million different experiences.
Yeah.
Per.
Like, it's not like there is the black experience or the white, like there's like a very, there's a variation.
I understand.
is if I adopt an Asian baby
and I raise him in my
Latino family and we do
a Latino neighborhood. Absolutely.
That Asian baby is culturally
Latino.
He would be. Yeah.
He would grow up eating the food. He would grow up listening
in the music. It would be the only thing he under
fucking stands. So you'd be culturally
Latino. That's all it means.
I can agree with that. But I think when it comes
to being unfortunately, as much
it sounds fucking stupid and I hate to ring
this bell being black is different. I hate to say that. Okay. I hate to disregard anyone else's
experience, but it is different. Unfortunately in America, it just the world, unfortunately,
with our diaspora, it is. I'm sure everybody feels that way about themselves. I'm sure there's a lot of
Israelis who feel that way about being Jewish. I can agree. I can agree, but there's significantly
different experiences. Like, I'm not going to disregard. Well, what is a black American experience versus a
black, you know, African
experience versus a black UK
experience. Outside. Those are different experiences.
Yeah, but the moment you are removed from a
predominantly black area, there are several
things that happen that are particular
to black people that we
all have experienced. And
that is the thing that Eminem just has not
experienced that. He's seen it.
No one's saying. But he's experienced. And that's
where I, that's where it's different.
Though I understand what you guys
are both saying is kind of yeah, that niggas live more
of a nigg experience than I have. I'm so fucking Luli.
but it's like saying he's
black is weird. I just don't need to
look at I don't need the entire
like the
especially the negative experiences to me
like you didn't do this so you can't be a part
of this culture. I feel like
that's a very like I just feel like
I don't like I don't like
where that because it almost feels more of like a gatekeeping
thing where it's like you literally can never
be a part of this culture because you don't look like us
like and I feel like that's
kind of it's a little like
rude but like also at the same
I know what you mean. I know what you mean.
If you've gone through certain experiences, I understand why you might even take that position.
Like, I'm not even saying like, my thing is if somebody were to say that to Eminem, like, there's a black person that lived in Detroit.
And it's like, nah, you can't because you didn't go through what I went through.
I'd be like, look, fair.
That's how you feel.
Okay.
You know, but at the same time.
You wouldn't champion that.
And it's just like, and it's just like, because I'm also, I, I ain't trying to shoehorn him and him into nothing.
It's just like, here's this guy's a reality.
this is where he grew up around.
Like that's all we're kind of saying really.
I agree with that. Like it doesn't really, no one's trying to like, because he wouldn't say it himself probably.
Just out of respect.
That's what that's for me.
He would be like, he would be like, no, I'm not.
Just out of respect.
He would just be like, I wouldn't classify it as that.
But like, that's also kind of the humble nature of it, too, where some people might be like.
He also wouldn't say he's washed.
But, um, he's a really good rapper.
He's not a good album maker.
What happened?
Let's go.
I'm dying at who?
Let's go.
Let's go.
We don't need to fuck with them.
But he somehow watches this.
Can you imagine?
That'd make me really sad because I said a lot of dumb shit about him.
And I'd be like, I know I said super shit about you.
I am a big fan of you though.
I have said dumb shit about you.
Comedy podcast.
He goes to comedy podcast section on Spotify.
He's like, oh, fucking like, I don't know, 100th or 90th down the row or whatever.
Fucking snark tank.
That's funny.
That's cute.
It just happens to click directly on this section.
That's so not okay.
That'd make me feel really bad.
And then fucking,
he puts out a new song and it's just like a fucking dish track on Snark Tank.
Snark is fucking stupid.
Snark is a minute,
man,
man,
and then he just.
King is Black.
Kings.
Kings Black and he's black.
I would be so honored, though.
I'd be so honored.
I would be,
yeah,
I'd be fine with it.
Seamen on a human.
Uh,
I mean,
It's a lot of attention, but like whatever.
Yeah.
Hey, we get, we get a handful.
We probably get like 100 new fans.
Just a lot of haters, but like there would be a couple people, but these guys are kind of funny, I guess.
Yeah, maybe.
That's what I want to do.
Which guy?
Well, no, I'm going to see.
What is this?
What the fuck is this?
Walmart brand wrote in.
It says, hey, Sweeney and Derek.
So it's just to you guys.
Did you watch House of Dragon after Game of Thrones shit the bed?
Are you excited for Dunk and Egg?
Chris, does this sound schizophrenic?
Yes, what the heck?
I don't know what you, Dunk and Egg.
He must know about this because I don't know.
I don't know.
Dunkin Egg is the, what you call it?
It's a prequel to,
it's a prequel to Game of Thrones, but it's not a people
of the House of Dragons. Okay. It's called
Dunk and Egg.
Sir Duncan, Atal and Eggard,
egg on Targary and 4th, I think.
It's not actually called Dunkin Egg, though.
Mm-hmm.
Dunkin Egg.
that's like barbenheimer what the fuck are we doing
Duncan egg it's it's it's this it's another side story written by George Aramaran
it's a story I mean that's fine I just think it it that is a terrible name if that's what it's
actually called it's a book no no I don't care oh that's the the name of the book is called
that hmm I think it's or is it fire him no it's don't get a Dunkin Egg the tales of
Duncan egg okay George Arr Martin that is that sucks that that was the first thing he
up with and he never changed it.
I think it's the title of those characters.
I don't know, man.
It's whatever.
It was a placeholder and he was like,
I'm just keep it.
Yeah, it feels like shorthand.
I didn't read.
I didn't read these books.
There at the period of time where I think it's boring.
No, I didn't read these books.
I read, uh, I read fire blood,
fire blood and I read, um, the main books.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, we talked about how they're,
they're good.
They're, um, the books are good.
It's a story.
It's a story about like, they call the little people like,
actual people in the world.
It's not a story about characters,
which is interesting because it's like,
oh,
he can actually write human beings
that are experiencing the world.
Dunk is,
uh,
dunk is Lady Brianne's ancestor.
Like great,
great grandfather.
Sounds like getting the bacon,
egg and cheese from Dunkin' Donuts,
man.
I'm sorry.
It does sound like an order.
It sounds like a breakfast.
It does.
I don't,
I feel like it is.
I feel like,
I feel like that's sweet.
He was like,
he made that and last.
He was like,
it's funny as fun.
Yo,
let me get a Dunkin egg.
I feel like Martin's that kind of guy
to be like that's fucking hilarious
Put that shit in
Let me get a Dunkin Egg coffee light and sweet
Yeah
And um
Oh my God a coffee light and sweet
That is this stupid
I've ordered that in forever
Ugh
Forever
I'd have to go get them from the bodega down the street
I remember like
I was just
A
Roll with butter
A coffee light and sweet
And then like
Some other fucking
random thing
And pick up fucking three plants
or some shit like that.
What is a light and sweet coffee?
What does that mean?
I'm actually milk and sugar.
That's it.
Extra cream and sugar.
Oh.
Yeah.
It's a gay coffee, basically.
It is.
It's a coffee.
It's how I like my coffee.
I'm not,
I'm not a coffee guy.
I like a nice coffee every now and again.
I like it.
Yeah,
like just like a black.
I mean,
I like a spray.
I like pure espresso.
You know what I mean?
Like just like,
you know,
unflavored.
I like flavored espresso too.
like I see I'm if I have a if I have a whole cup of coffee I prefer it to taste good but like you know what I mean I prefer it I prefer it like if I have a cup of coffee I'd prefer it to be iced with like some stuff in it but like or the one time I'll have black coffee is like if I'm sitting in a diner because there's something about the there's something about that feels nice that's insane or or you care about this morning your drink no it feels there there is something about feels classic it's like having a lemonade on on like a beach or something
You know what I mean?
Where it's just like, it's different than having a lemonade in the winter or a southern
porch.
You get it,
you get a sun-kissed sweet tea on the porch in the south while Niko's hanging in the, in the, in the, in the distance.
Well, or maybe there's something about that.
There is just something about it, you know, that I can't shake.
Part of that is really cool.
Most of, most of that, maybe not the hanging part.
Maybe not.
We can talk, we can deliberate, we can delineate later, like, what we, what we choose to.
We can argue the semantics afterwards.
Right.
Let's get the hanging started, though.
Okay.
But no, I think, like, uh, environment, like, uh, there's something about an environment
that enhances certain things.
You know what I mean?
Like, uh, ice cream in the snow sucks.
It's a bad experience.
I don't know.
Hmm, I know.
Yeah.
Because I tried.
I tried.
I was like, I wonder.
Hmm.
In the snow.
I guess I've never had in the snow.
I've had it, though, like, really cold, though.
I've had it in the snow, and it's just, like, it's very vis-right.
I don't know why I thought to do this.
Because I just thought, like, because I think I was trying to prove or disprove this exact thing, where I was like, because people would give me shit for getting milkshakes in the winter.
But I just like milkshakes.
But I would never be, like, outside with it.
It would be, like, in a warm, you know what I mean, like in a fucking diner or something.
I see.
But, like, I don't know.
I can't remember.
This was, like, high school that I did this.
And I haven't had.
I haven't liked ice cream since, actually.
Kind of ruined it for me.
Oh.
Well, okay.
I like soft serve, but I don't like that, like, ice cream that's like in a box that you like fucking scoop out.
I don't know.
A lot of them are trash.
A lot of them are trash.
Like a tub of ice cream?
Yeah, tub of ice cream just doesn't do it for me no more.
Like a soft serve, I'll like, I'll be all over a soft serve.
Yeah.
But I like ice cream, but I feel like I had it too much for a period of time.
And I'm kind of, I've actually lost my sweet tooth immensely.
It's fading away the older I get it.
It's definitely a part of getting old because it'll fuck you up.
It'll fuck you up.
So you want less sugar.
It hurts a lot.
Yeah.
Your body's like, stop.
Yeah.
I'm like, all right.
Hello, hello.
I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Smart Talks with IBM.
I recently sat down with IBM's chairman and CEO, Arvin Krishna.
And I asked him, how can companies use AI to its fullest potential to create smarter business?
My one advice to that.
Pick areas you can scale.
Don't pick the shiny little toys on the side.
For example.
If anybody has more than 10% of what they had for customer service 10 years ago,
they're already five years behind it.
If anybody is not using AI to make their developers who write software 30% more productive today,
with the goal of being 70% more productive,
Yeah. Wow.
So we are not asking our clients to be the first experiment on it.
We say you can leverage what we did.
We're happy to bring out all our learnings, including what needs to change in the process,
because the biggest change is not technology,
is getting people to accept that there's a different way to do things.

Anyway, so Nintendo Direct Narrator trying heroin for the first time.
he says
greetings Chris Gaygun
Gay Rick and Tom's Gayweeney
Nice
I was just
I was just curious
I was just curious
what y'all's most frustrating
to hear game criticism is
For example I really hate when people say
Nobody asked for this
As a point to describe something
They don't like
Or that they don't like
Like fuck wad
Who asked for Expedition 33
And a story like that
Who asked for like yeah
I see what you're saying.
Art isn't about catering to a group of requests and giving them what they wanted to
giving them an experience they couldn't never, I couldn't imagine love y'all.
The one that bothers me the most.
This game is too hard.
That shit irks me, bro.
Oh, God, it kills me.
Does it?
Oh, really?
What's up?
What about it?
And when people say this is too hard, it's like, well, then it's maybe not for you, bitch.
Stop crying.
That's it.
I think, oh, this game is too difficult.
I understand what you're saying, but I also feel like it depends because sometimes some things do
need to be nerfed.
Sometimes.
When things, when things are broken, you fix.
them that I always agree in that way though but like because at the same time somebody beat it you
know what I'm saying exactly it's not for you some people did beat it but sometimes like not enough
people so when they look at the look at the data and they'll be like oh fucking three percent of the
players are beating this should probably do something that's crazy that is crazy of the main part
of a game and only 30 percent of the people have beaten it's like what it's good something's wrong here
you know, like the fact they were nerfed Radon,
I can't believe they nerfed on.
I think the difficulty of that fight was such a huge, like,
like a triumph for the game.
Granted, I think, like, I did it early.
And I was like, I really did something.
And I feel like people were like, I can't do it.
So it might have been like, I guess.
Yeah, I think they looked at the data and they were like, oh,
like as long as they reach a certain threshold, I feel like, okay.
14 people beat this.
And it's like, whu-Elven ring has like an unusually high percentage of completion, though.
it was a phenomenon, man.
Because a lot of people, it drew a lot of people.
Yeah.
No, but that would dilute it actually.
That would be, that would, you'd be more likely to see a lesser, um, percentage of
completion if there's more people involved because you would imagine that like the word
of mouth would have reached people who were like, oh, yeah, maybe I like this and then they try.
And then they're like, oh, this is not for me actually.
So like, it really is it, it, it benefits completion rates to actually be like niche and like kind of hardcore, like a small thing.
I agree with your point.
I agree.
but can it can it also kind of
I agree with that well it's a point yeah
I agree with it sure at the same time it's like
I think that could also factor into
why it's high as well to think a lot of people
probably do like it well what I'm
what I'm saying is like it's unusually high
like I think 10% of people have
platinum to that game that's
which is like that's kind of
that's incredibly unheard of
you know what I feel I feel like it's
genuinely though because of the
the streaming culture there is many people who would
quit a long time ago that made a point two fucking complete the game there is a lot of information
out there about it too that like if you're stuck on something like i've played games where like i'll be
stuck on something and i'll look up like the way in which i'm stuck and there's no information about it
i'm like all right oh early on dude oh my god that's the worst that doesn't make sense you play something
new and you're like there's no guides fuck you just have to figure it out could you imagine that like
You're genuinely for real loss.
You're like, yo, I don't.
When I was growing up, when I was growing up, I had a head in the world.
When I was growing up, I had a lot of that, man.
Like, because I was just like, ADHD, man.
Like, I just, like, I could not.
I needed to focus so hard to just get through a lot of games.
And like, I didn't really know about guides until like way.
I didn't know about guides until probably like Prima,
um, the strategy guides I would see them at like, um, GameStop or something.
I think maybe like 2001, 2002 is when I started like, oh.
you know, you can look things up.
I didn't, I didn't, I don't, you're not, you're not a basher head against the wall kind of, I, dude, I, it's, it is, it's helped me get far in life when it comes to, like, learning, like academics, it's really helped me out a lot.
But it also makes me waste time as I won't give up in a game.
I will play a game until it, like, until genuinely I perceive that I can't do it, my skills can't do it.
But every game that I find that is hard, I keep fighting.
I keep fighting through it and I eventually beat it.
Like I genuinely cannot remember the last game that was too hard for me to beat.
Oh, yeah.
I'm not that kind of guy.
And it's,
Elvin ring was probably mine.
I got to Malacath and I was like,
no, man.
Like Lily's watching me play Silk Song now when she's like,
brother,
because I'm not good.
That's what makes it even worse.
I'm not even good at that game.
And I'm just like,
she's like,
honey,
take a break.
Like you're not,
you're not going to get this tonight.
And I'm like,
shut up and I keep playing again and she's like honey like for real take a break well the thing
I mean you know I'm I am a bash my head against the wall kind of guy like it but I need to be
having fun also and I do find that like there are certain games that get to a point where like
I'm just now I'm just having zero fun and I'm just bashing my head and now I'm like this is
not if I'm not having fun this is not a useful use of my time yeah I have I have I have the real
I have the real world with like real responsibilities that are for no fun and stressing out.
Why am I going to spend my like leisure time doing that?
Yeah.
Like I'm all right with like a 50-50 mix, right?
Or even like a 90-10.
I'm still having a little bit of fun and it's, but it's stressful.
Yeah.
But if it's like if it's just when I got to Maliket, that was the point where I was like,
I'm not having fun anymore.
And I also know that when I beat this boss, I will not feel anything about it.
like and I got to that point
I was just like well now it's just extra
pointless yeah so I get
I played elder ring pretty extensively
I play I pray like like 180
hours or something like that yeah
but I was just like there's definitely
I beat I beat I beat
I beat millennia and that was like a fucking bitch
yeah I game it gets to the point where it's like
it's like you gotta play cheap
like it's not even worth like learning
tech it's like how can I
make this game my bitch by
breaking a mechanic
I feel like the bosses that are fun to fight where I'm like, yeah, I might do something that's a little bit cheesy because like to your point, Chris, I'm not actually having fun with this.
Sometimes, like I think about I really enjoy. I know I've talked about this to death, but I talk about the Ring City.
And I feel like it was like a perfect balance of difficulty because it was at the time that was like the hardest thing that was out.
And but the progression of fighting like, say Gail, the final boss in the ring city.
it was so fun because of the different levels of it
and dying in the different levels
it's like okay I'm almost there
and then just I just got to get these patterns down
instead of it just being kind of like a cheap way
to fuck you up
because there's some bosses that just kind of have these
absolute one shot mechanics that fuck I was slightly off
and it just oh all my progression is completely wiped
that's so frustrating
and every once in a while like a lot of these bosses
have shit like down I'm like I don't want to fuck with this thing
because now I don't feel like I'm having
having fun.
And I know a lot of bosses have that shit,
but then a lot of times it'll be kind of easy to evade.
And it's like,
you just got to just pay attention.
You'll be good.
And it's just,
you know,
it's like that.
So again,
my time,
of course,
unfortunately my time sync.
That's my big thing right now.
I just can't dedicate,
even when I know how to beat something,
sometimes I know the prep is still going to take a little bit too long.
Especially I'm talking about like RPGs,
term base,
particularly where I'm,
fuck I got a prep for this and I just don't want to do it.
That's why my biggest phone RPG is I don't run from any fights.
It sucks and it's rough,
but I just don't run from fights and by the time I get to the end of the game,
I'm like, all right, cool.
I'm really strong now,
but it's still really shit not running from any fights in a whole game.
And that is just like,
I will say about the traditional JRPGs,
if you grind enough,
if you do do enough,
you can still, they will allow you to beat their bosses at the harder,
later stages versus there's a lot of things that I play now where they're like,
you can't just be OP.
You have to do certain things.
You have to, you have to disable this buff.
You have to, there's only certain ways to beat it.
Like, there's this boss.
I say, there's this boss in Raid, this the Sand Devil Necropolis,
that you have to have a sleep buff.
The only way, or it'll one shot.
you. If you don't sleep it, it will one shot you.
You can't at the highest level, you cannot.
So if you don't have any sleep champion
with heroes of champions, you're fucked.
And that's bullshit.
I hate that. And
it's one of those things where it's like you have to
strategize otherwise you can't just
muscle your way through it.
Unless you, you know, you have a million dollar
account like I just saw this cunt. I saw a
cunt that's been a million dollars in a fucking game. Can you believe that?
That is so crazy, dude. And you fucking believe that?
Oh my God. It's the craziest I ever seen.
Hey, man.
crazy thing ever say. Hey, if,
you know what? Like,
I don't know, man.
Let's make a, let's make a fucking raid shadow
legends fucking games.
There's a garbage fucking, dude, there's a guy
that started off making
raid content. And
he's now two to three years into development
and next year's going to launch his own game
called God Forge. He was like,
fuck this game. I mean,
I like it because it gave me a career and shit.
But also, I'm going to make
a way better game. And,
So he's just going to make, because they make so much money.
And I'm like, this is pissing me off because I know we could do a better job.
Except for if we hired people, they have brilliant people working for them, if you know what I mean.
But then they also have the predatory mechanics.
And I'm like, well, we can just make a good game if in outside of this shit.
And apparently that's what they're doing.
I'm like, I can't believe this asshole got tens of millions of dollars in investments off of playing rate shadow legends.
What the fuck is happening in this world?
Hello, hello.
I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of Smart Talks with IBM.
I recently spoke with IBM's new director of research, Jake Gambata.
We discussed his vision for the future of quantum computing.
At IBM Research, what we always do is answer what is the future of computing,
whether it's coming up with new algorithms, coming up with better AI,
coming up with quantum, or coming up with just how do different accelerators go together.
It's our DNA to answer the question of what is the future.
Isn't it a perfect problem for IBM because you kind of need to have a legacy of building stuff?
Yes.
Building actual physical machines.
Yeah, it's why I came to IBM.
I wanted the experience, the culture of building hard things that others have not done before.
Where do you imagine we are in the timeline of this technology?
There will come a point when it will mature.
Right?
Yeah.
My cell phone has 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.

criticisms that like game criticisms, like the one for me is like, oh, this is repetitive. That's
Because that's what a game is.
That's mine.
And I understand that there are games that feel repetitive, that don't do a good job of, like, masking that repetitiveness.
And I understand that.
And I understand that that's what people are saying.
Like, I saw somebody, like, I think recently it was just like, oh, man, Arc Raiders is repetitive.
And it's like, yes.
Yeah.
It's a multiplayer game.
Or it's a game, period.
So, like, yeah.
I don't know what to tell you, really.
Like the whole,
the whole point is that you're doing the same things over and over again.
1,000% and it's fun to do it because it never happens.
And even though it's the same things that you're doing,
things never unfold in the exact same way.
Exactly.
That's kind of, that's the fun of it.
Different environments, different whatever.
It's not a massive nature to say everything is repetitive in a game.
It's a game.
You're not playing a game that's a FPS real-time shooter, J-R-PG,
freaking extraction shooter, you know.
It's every all in one.
the all in one Xbox one video game
That's that's I think in my opinion
That's like the strength of multiplayer games though
Is that because it relies on the actions of other people
Like you're never really going to have the same
Like you can play through a single player game
Like
In a multitude of different ways
And there's probably like a
Like a pretty insane amount of different ways that I could go
Yes
But like a multi like I've not played a single match of anything
Multiplayer wise that's been exactly the same
is a previous one.
Yeah.
That's the idea behind...
Sorry, go, go, go.
No, no, there you go.
Oh, just,
that's the idea behind,
like, say,
most of the world enjoy sports.
That's the idea behind sports.
They're literally doing the same thing,
but it's like,
how is it going to happen this time?
And so, like, multiplayer games,
or even you play your single player games,
you're going to play in a different difficulty.
You're going to play in a different set.
You're going to do different things.
But at the end of the day,
you're hacking slashing,
you're fucking mashing buttons.
You're shooting people.
Like, what the fuck?
It's fun.
like you said, they didn't do a good job
masking it.
There are definitely games that I play that do not do a good job of masking it.
Yeah, I mean, absolutely.
But I feel like most games I play are,
that's the thing too, it's like,
the games that people call bad now are just like,
these would have blown everybody's minds.
You know what I mean?
Like in, in like 2010 or whatever.
Right.
It would have been fucking outrageous.
But yeah, whatever.
Anyway, is, I think,
that's probably good.
I agree.
What are we at?
An hour 47,
that's,
yeah,
I think we can probably,
yeah,
we'll save these for next time.
Hell yeah,
brother.
Hell yeah,
brother.
Let's bounce.
We're going to leave you.
We're going to end our show
by reading our $25 and up patrons.
Thank you all for support.
you can go over to patreon.com slash a snark tank and you
toss over a couple bucks over there.
Watch exclusive episodes, early ad
free access, all that
stuff. You can ask a question. You can have
a write in. You can make me read your name at the end of the show.
All sorts of little silly things.
We're going to have a, we're going to have
a voicemail tier,
a voice, a call in
voicemail thing going on.
We're also going to auction off Chris's limbs. They're going to
auction off each one of Chris's limbs.
It's going to be really cheap. You don't got to, you don't
really got to bring much money. If you bring
$75, you are probably
going to get most of his body.
You can't really detect how much an auction is, right?
Doesn't auction keep going up?
Whoever gets the 75 first?
So, so one just got to say it real fast.
That's like,
first one to 75 gets it.
Oh, 75.
It's like, you would.
You would.
Because we're going to the option ever.
That sucks.
I've never been to an auction.
I want to do one or go to one.
I want to go to one of the auctions
where they auction off these really expensive cars
they take off drug dealers and stuff.
10 million.
Like I don't know why people don't go to those more often.
It's like just go to those and get
and get a fucking
What does happen though when you say like you go way crazy
and then what?
You just say oh never mind like you know
No, it's a binding contract.
I think it's I think something happens
You can't break your legs.
They immediately break your legs.
Yeah, they shoot you and they kill you.
I think like if they're shoots you with a gun.
If you go like, all right, what's this car going for 3,000, 3,500?
It's like 3,500, 3,500, 3,500, like 5, 5,000, 5,000, and somebody goes, 60 billion.
You're like, oh, well.
Get out.
60 billion sold.
Give me the money.
60 billion sold.
You owe it right now.
You don't give us the money.
We're going to possess you.
We're going to possess you.
We're going to take you.
It is eclipsing your entire face right now.
The barrel's bigger than you're.
It's basically a.
It's a fan. You're looking, you're peering in it.
It's a fucking, it's a handgun, but it's actually the size of a cannon.
If I had, if I had a, uh, if I had a, uh, if I had a superpower, it would be, if I had a superpower, it would be how I would, like, it would be like being able to speak through other people.
And I would just sit in the back of auctions and just make people bid absurd.
amount. It's so rude. Ooh, I like the idea. Ooh, if you can possess everyone and make like really
expensive shit sell for like pennies essentially. Oh yeah. They just lose all this money.
Like what the fuck guys? Or you just control the or you just control the auctioneer and you're just like
these are good offers. I was going to give it to that guy who didn't say anything.
What's great? That the idea of being able to control people like that is fun. Like you take
control somebody that's like about to sign a bill for something and just be like no.
Don't side it
Crumbled up and eat it
We're going to make
I don't know
Healthcare free
And the president
And Trump's like
I didn't mean to say
That oops
And he already signs it
And it's like
You take control the whole Senate
Just make them do something like that
Make them all backflip off the Golden Gate Bridge
What are you talking about?
That's insane
Talking about man
That's insane
That's the next level skill
But I don't
I don't disagree with it
But like I think that's still insane
But it was a good thing
That's crazy
You're like yeah
I'm going to make somebody I really don't like jump into the tiger pit.
And they'll understand after a while because they'll be like, oh, the people, I'll make somebody like sign or vote for like a good bill.
Like, oh, universal health care.
They didn't flip off the, you know, the bridge.
And then someone who would have voted no, oh, they got possessed and they flipped out of the bridge and they start to understand.
Oh, I need to vote for, you know, populist policies.
This thing is literally light yagami.
He's literally to death, though.
What if you wrote like, what if you wrote like a blanket,
statement like you were like I wonder like I'm getting one guy what if I write like a bigger group like
what happens you write like I don't know like berries and every berry dies every berry on the planet
you're like isn't that how it should work no it's not gonna do let's read the fucking names
it's it's your name it's it's something stupid but what if you change your name and you write you write
the previous person's name like did not work it's it's stupid it's it's stupid it's it is
a stupid cartoon show that is
Penis Weewee and in some guy
Penis Weewee found ripped a son
That's a real person
Penis wee wee where would they live
What kind of name is that? I don't know Belgium
Yeah that does
Is this real?
What's name is
What is his demon's name again?
Riuke
Ryuk, reyuk, yeah
Ruk's like bro penis
Weewee was a good guy
What's the way with you?
Dude that was fucked up
eats an apple and leaves.
Yeah.
He fucking smokes a fucking,
he takes a hit through an apple.
Man,
this fucked up,
bro.
I'm fucking out of here.
Yeah.
He's eating an apple.
You just smoked on him.
You're fucked up,
like.
I mean,
I've known a whole time,
but like,
this is,
this is really bad.
What the hell are you looking up,
Chris?
What the fuck of what's going on?
Oh,
no,
that I was just like seeing,
it's political shit.
It's like Hakeem Jeffreys.
Oh, is he crying?
Is he crying?
No, he voted.
No, today, literally at like 10 or like 11, he was like, I guess there was like in a session of Congress where there was a vote question on vote question on agreeing to the resolution.
And the resolution.
And the resolution is denouncing the horrors of socialism.
And he says, yes.
It's like, what are you saying?
Did you guys see the thing about the, the, um, it's a weird thing.
Why is Chuck Schumer being like, I want to pass it?
I want to, let's have an official resolution to disagree with Nick Fuentes.
It's like, what a waste of fucking money.
I can't believe we pay people to do this shit.
For real.
Did you guys see that they're trying to be beat up, honestly.
Like, I'm fucking over it.
Backflips, man.
I'm telling you.
They are trying to remove the noose and the swastika from.
Oh, Coast Guard.
Yeah.
From the Coast Guard.
Is that real?
Yeah.
They no longer consider.
Yeah.
That's going to nuisance a hate symbol.
It is like,
it's too divisive.
It's possibly,
what is it called divisive?
I forgot what they're classifying it as now.
Potentially divisive.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Oh, great.
Yeah.
I was like,
denounce socialism,
guys.
We got to denounce the fire department and the police department.
Yes.
The libraries.
And the library and all the other fucking things that we actively and and,
and,
and public school and all.
How about,
how about charity?
How about charity?
Let's denounce charity.
Because charity is socialism,
too. It is there.
So, so, so, does denounce taxes, you know, as well, because every Christian
hates paying taxes. So there's denounce taxes. Well, I don't like paying taxes either. I don't
have no problem with that. I mean, I have no problem paying taxes when they go towards
good stuff. Right, but they don't. They don't. That's the problem. That's the problem.
That's kind of the issue. Is it like, I don't mind, I would not mind necessarily paying taxes
if I knew that I could just go to the doctor and not have to worry. I'd pay more taxes.
If I know children were being fed actually like being in another fucking country.
No problem. I'd pay more taxes easily.
Anyway, let's read the names before I've, I mean, it frustrated the hell of me.
I'm like, what a stupid waste of time.
Like, to vote on that.
Like denouncing the horrors of socialism, you suck a dick.
Hiss out of here.
Get them out.
Can we need to kill the firefighters?
They actually start.
They're dangerous.
They actually start executing the firefighters.
That's crazy.
They start burning every Dalmatian they find.
I wonder how firefighters feel because they are, they are.
I would imagine that most of them are probably conservative.
I bet a good deal of a mouth.
But they are a part of an inherently socialist kind of machine.
I wonder if they like,
I'd be curious.
Have you spoke to a cop?
Have you spoke to a cop?
Yeah.
What do you mean?
That's what's so confusing about it.
So they're basically like those dudes that are DL,
you know,
they're on the down low that like they're clearly gay,
but they're on the down low.
So if you accuse them of being gay,
they'll kill you.
And I feel like that's the same thing.
So like if you call a firefighter,
You call a firefighter associates
Will probably set you on fire
Because he's really good at it
He probably doesn't
He'll say fight and you'll burst in the flames
Calm down, buddy
We're friends
Shut up firefighter
I'm gonna kill you
I'm killing you slow right
Doesn't he say that or something?
Yeah
I love that fucking fire
You know that Derek
The Woody
The Woody rap where he's talking about
killing everybody
Shut up, Buzz.
I don't think so, actually.
Let me share this with you because I think it's worth it.
Shut up, Buzz.
I'm going to kill you.
Here you go.
This is the chorus.
You think firefighters are practicing power managers?

Right?
My cell phone is a mature technology at this point.
How far are we from that point with Conton?
By 2020.
will build the first fault-tolerant quantum computer.
That is one that can run a very, very large, large problem.

You've got to become a monster.
Yeah, exactly.
Isn't that?
Wait, what's the ritual to become a firefighter?
I got to become, I got to become a fire to kill a fire.
You have to survive the big set out of fire to become a firefighter.
I think he did it.
Would you go through a dome?
Because if you survive, then all of a sudden you have the powers of, of, your
pyromancer, I guess, but you're possibly undead too.
I don't really understand how it works.
And you're also like extremely burned.
So, you know.
I love it.

I have bad people who speak like that, but it's like, it's very exceedingly rare.
They're not, they're not of this age group.
They're like really not of this age group.
No, they're very, they're like, they grew up in the 70s or something.
They're definitely, yeah, they're in the 60s right now.
They're the age of my mom.
Because my mom still has some of that shit left over.
Every once in a while, she says some jive shit.
I'm like, it's crazy.
She's like, damn, you black.
Damn, you black.
Black motherfucker?
My favorite is what she goes
cooling around here. Oh, sooky,
sucky now. And I'm like, that is the most
70th. That is. Ever.
I heard that.
I've never
felt like what is. I imagine black moms
sound like. That's what I think of.
Black mother sounds.
That's like some
Tyler Perry shit. I wish I
sound like that, though. It would be fun.
It'd be way funner.
Like, like, job.
And calling everyone turkeys and shit.
Like, I wish I grew up with that.
That was like genuine.
You jive.
You turkey.
Fuck out of you.
I wish I had that accent, but I was actually smart.
So I could sound like, frigate what's his name?
Oh, you're asking for.
I'm asking for way too much.
Yeah, that's for way too much.
For a lot there, man.
Yeah, that's for way too much.
You got to deal with grass Tyson and sounded like that?
Oh, my God.
That'd be amazing.
She, man.
Cosm.
He has his moments where he sounds like that.
Oh, yeah.
He has a moment.
He does have moments where he sounds like that.
sounds like that. Then he's like, oh, I forgot. I have to be, I have to present myself.
Oh, Carl Sagan. Carl Sagan, that brother's, that's a real, that's a real G right there.
That's a real G right there. His niggas slips out sometimes and he has to like bottle it back up
real quick. I know, but even as much as it slips out, it's never that like that's not.
Oh, of course. Yeah. We have to hear him in like a heated argument. Then we'd really get to hear it.
Oh my God. I would love to hear angry you know the grass Tyson. Yeah. Never heard it. I
I've only heard him be annoyed.
And it's usually because he, but he does it to himself.
He works with comedians.
He's specifically,
ever since he's been doing StarTalk for like over a decade,
he'll partner with a comedian.
And then sometimes they're on too much when he's trying to talk.
And he's like,
all right,
like kind of,
you want to,
he wants to say like,
shut up.
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
And it's like,
okay,
he picks him up and just pretzels him.
He's a fucking wrestler.
He's just pretzling.
He does talk about every once in a while he does talk about.
What if it's not what we expect at all.
What if it, like, somebody's talking and during Star Talk radio and goes,
shut up.
Shut up.
Stop.
How are you from New York?
I don't understand what's happening.
That would be fucking insane.
He's from like, he's from the hoodie hood too.
He's from like over in the Bronx by where like the area I wasn't allowed to go to.
You know he's beat up and robbed many people.
Let's be real.
Oh yeah.
People are trying to rob him and they died.
They didn't make it to the hospital.
He just accounts for the physics of like the gunshots that are flying out.
I know I know that's going to.
Oh, he's aiming at 90 degrees.
Not 90 degrees.
It doesn't make any sense.
But he's aiming at like 12 degrees up.
I should pivot.
And he pushes the bullet down.
The bullet comes out of me.
He pushes the bullet down.
Now it is at an oblique angle and it will hit the sidewalk and cascade into his eye.
Or, he grabs it, turns the bullet around.
In theory, you have won this fight.
So stupid.
I love the idea of Neil DeGrasse Tyson being angry and like just competent.
I love it.
Damn.
He mess with a serial murder would be amazing.
Hello, hello, I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Smart Talks with IBM.
I recently sat down with IBM's chairman and CEO, Arvin Krishna.
And I asked him, how can companies use AI to its fullest potential to create smarter business?
My one advice to that, pick areas you can scale.
Don't pick the shiny little toys on the side.
For example.
If anybody has more than 10% of what they had for customer service 10 years ago, they're already five years behind.
If anybody is not using AI to make their developers who write software 30% more productive today,
with the goal of being 70% more productive.
Yeah.
So we are not asking our clients to be the first experiment on it.
We say you can leverage what we did.
We're happy to bring out all our learnings,
including what needs to change in the process,
because the biggest change is not technology,
is getting people to accept that there's a different way to do things.

bonus you can also since
you can
I forgot what they're called
it's been too long
but she's her sister's a certain thing
where they're like they have to be
they're basically serial killers
essentially and so they have to be isolated
I forgot what their name is
and you can fuck her and she'll kill you
so you can go
through that whole arc where you save her, you save
more seduce her and then she'll
kill you. It's pretty cool.
It's ridiculous. Yeah,
Samara's got, but like, it's just, there's
the prestige of matriarch, Benazia, and
they're just out. That's the thing.
They're out, right? There's big
tits everywhere, but they're not presented,
so it doesn't really attract you in the way that
Benesia, where you see this fucking
queen arachnid there, and I
forget that it's even there because her tits are out.
And I'm like, whoa, it's happening.
That's true. Did you save it or you to kill it?
You gotta save it.
What do you mean?
Oh.
You fucking,
oh my God.
It's very,
