The Access, The Algorithms, y El Pulgar

After Bert angered the robot overlords and mysteriously vanished from an entire recording, Talking Ish is back to try this thing again. Bert is off paying his respects—both to Skynet and, more importantly, to a friend he recently lost—while Pepe and Raúl attempt to reconstruct what the machines took from them.Raúl returns with an update from work: after a little malicious compliance forced management to experience the consequences of its own decisions, the system access everyone supposedly didn't need suddenly became available. That opens up a bigger conversation about leadership, developing your staff instead of simply managing assignments, and a shoutout to one boss who's apparently doing it right.Then professionalism promptly leaves the building.Raúl goes full dad-joke mode before offering a potentially life-saving public service announcement: there are certain phrases a wife can say to her husband without incident that a husband should never, ever say back unless he's prepared for divorce court, a 911 call, or his own episode of Dateline.The guys also revisit their Rosa de Guadalupe plans for Bert's technological suffering, reveal why he needed his wife just to access his own computer during The Lost Episode, and discover Bert's proposed solution for next time:Remove the thumb.Don't worry. Talking Ish immediately explores several less… felonious alternatives.Bert will eventually hear this episode. He probably won't be happy.But as the guys say every week:Build a bridge and get over it.Talking Ish — Dos Idiomas. Cero Filtros. Apparently Cero Backups.
