They put a device in a guy's brain. What could this all mean?

Transcript

The downbeat on ninety seven to one the Freak. Yeah, yeah, yeah a draft. Whoa before we get into this brain chip thing, Danny, did you complete your homework assignment? Yeah? I did? You want to reset that real quick while I pulled this up. Basically, yesterday we had a sneak attack of the same return cut all day Everything in the Right Place

by Radiohead Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do. Yeah, I did it because Danny all we were on the text threat and he said that he had spent a good good portion of the weekend working on getting the keyboard tuned or sounding perfect to where he could replicate the opening key chords to Everything in this Right Place. More am I getting the sound? You know? Because Okay, so here's I've got this JJ if you popped me up for a sec. So this is the beginning of that. Soon This record's like twenty

three years old. Yeah, that's the actual song. Yeah, this is the actual song. It's a signature keep. I mean, it's like a legendary iconic sound keyboard lick. And I don't know why, but I've spent way too many hours over the weekend trying to get this sound from scratch because This is done on a vintage keyboard called a prophet, and it just has

that sound. Okay, Okay, I have a couple of cynthesizer synthesizers and culture sound digital interface stuff that you can use to create sounds that basically start from what they call a sign wave and it's just a and using filters and envelopes and all this stuff, you can kind of customize it to make it sound like a lot of different stuff. Okay, So that was my goal. I wanted to figure out how to make this so you had a cocaine fuelled weekend creating that. Yeah, I mean some cocaine, not a lot,

not fueled entirely. Yeah, you know, to keep things going late into the night. But this was my result. It's not played perfectly. I'm not a good keyboard player, but I think I got close on the sound. Tell me what you think, all right, pought it back up? Here we go three two one. That's good? Bad? I don't

yeah that echoing to anything? I mean, that's essentially what you're trying to replicate, right, Yeah, that's where you kind of you you've moved the filter a little bit and go, yeah, kind of does that thing Yeah, they do that later in the song, but I'm just kind of giving it. But it's close, it's about It's about as close as I could get with using a digital keyboard and cut and creating it from what was essentially started out as a test tone. Right, Yeah, you're in the Nigel

Goodrich one O one school. Dude. Synthesizers are effing hard one more time mine are? There is yours? Here we go three seven twelve. That's cool, man, you know it's cheap cover band version. It's fun, but I learned a lot. Yeah, it's fun, a little project. Yeah, yeah, it's kind of like continuing education more than it is. Yeah, anything relevant to the world. Yeah, you bettered yourself this weekend. Maybe everyone else went went out and got drunk and had unprotected sex.

That's right. I would have rather done that. You can do that. You'r Danny Bailey. I don't know how anymore you do sixty buddy dipping right around? Sane man, Look, get you on that men's edge medical, We'll get your gun. It'll work. I'll give you the edge that you need. Maybe we implant something too. Yeah, oh, keV, that is the most important thing in the world today. January thirtieth, because uh elon Musk is this company called Neuralink, and the FDA actually came in back

in May and approved human testing on Neuralink. The Green tagged this wacky ass idea. They were like, well, I guess we could try it on a few humans. And the idea is that a chip. It's rebably a device more than a chip. I guess it's a device that you could put into a human's brain. And they're using this right now on these It's only been put in one. As he tweeted yesterday, the first human received an

implant from Neuralink and is recovering well. Initial results show promising neuron spike detection. He For those who don't know what this is, and I don't know a ton about it, you just heard like a little whispers about putting a device in someone's brain, he wrote, Initial users will be those who have lost the use of their limbs. Imagine if Stephen Hawking could communicate faster than a speed typist or an auctioneer, which you know the Stephen Hawking reference has.

I mean, it's really impossible for me to think about Stephen Hawking without thinking about the wheel around on Epstein's ass island stuck in the sand. Him spinning neural Lincoln is a little sausage. Now, Jesus, we don't know, We don't know who the person was or if it's working. We just have to take Elon for his word for it on what he tweeted on X. So there's part of it. I always do that, just take his

word. But this is all part of the plan. I mean, back in November of twenty twenty two, he predicted that they would start testing humans. The FDA finally approved it, and the idea basically is that you can make your brain work super fast because they put a device in your head. This is very severance. I think what's happening. The goal is, like you said, paraplegics people that do not have the use of their limbs to

think something and be able to control technology with it. So if you're if your neuralalink is connected with a word process or a computer, you want to think Google search, you know, radio heads, everything in its right place, You think it, and then the text comes up in your search bar. That inter basic. That's the very basic. Uh. It's designed to interpret a person's neural activity so they can control external devices such as smartphones,

computers with their thoughts. Right, maybe that's the baseline. You may have a more ambitious dream and shrouding it in we're trying to help a paraplegic walk. Yeah, well sounds good, but who the hell knows, Just as any new technology goes in these things, it's all it's all sounds great, and I'm sure the intentions of it and the design initial designs of it are to help people. But it's always the factor of when doctor Evil gets involved,

you know, and starts turning it against everybody humanity. Imagine this. You lose both your arms though in the war, okay, whatever, you lose both your arms the Italian War of April this year, you know, last night with seats for soldiers night and the troops are on my mind today. Did you meet whatever? Yeah, I've met a ton. No I didn't. I went to my seat and that's about it. But you lost both your arms in the war. You would like to be able to text

like everyone else. But you can activate that implant somehow in your brain because you intend to move, and that allows you to check text messages, send text text messages, scroll the internet, scroll your feeds, I mean that is it's kind of incomprehensible right now. But if it worked, you can see the good that would come out of this. Yeah, no, I can. Although if one of the first things you say is a benefit of this is you can scroll your feeds, Yeah, that just sort of reiterates

how stupid we all are and prioritize. I think there's far more important things. But yes, I think texting, communicating with family, if that's a difficult thing for you, Yeah, that that does seem like it has quite a bit of benefit. Well, yeah, real quick, for this example, let's just continue to use a human stick here. They don't have arms in this case, they're just legs. They don't have arms. They can't get on like you could go to Amazon and order a pair of glow and

order a pair of gloves. You order some socks, maybe some shower socks. But what you could do pants it's attach some type of robotic arm system. You know, if you say your arms were removed in the Great Italian War of twenty twenty four of April twenty twenty that Kevin's plain Lands vigilant. You have these robotic arms, you know, can function very much like normal human arms, and you're able to control the actions of what your arms can do just simply by thinking about the act. Love that. Mm hm,

But this could be Iron Man too, dude, This is nuts. That's exactly what I was thinking. Is somebody that is paralyzed from the neck down, you put them in a robotic Iron Man type suit, an exoskeleton, an exoskeleton that will enable them to walk freely amongst the rest of the world just because of what they're thinking. Another thing, think about this. Think

about if you leave accidentally leave your screen up. You know, so you've got this screen you're wanting, wanting to communicate with your family, and you're at Christmas and it's you're thinking, oh, thank you for the wonderful gift, Nana, but you forget to turn it off and then it really just starts typing what you're actually thinking, God, Nana sucks, you know, or I would I think Nana passed yam farts at dinner? What what did you say? And then you're in trouble and it's all Elon's fault. I

don't think you'll still have to like wink to send it. So if you think that stuff, they'll be okay. You don't wink. But what if think about this, What if you leave the screen up and you're sleeping, and it can type out your dreams, the context of your dreams. I never forget your dreams, and they're in full detail, descriptive details, and then you attach that to chat GPT or AI and you wake up and you can just watch this beautiful movie of your dreams. We're not that far there.

She is in a flowing gown, standing with the wind blowing through her hair as Lily Tomlin. I like cow moments before she is devoured by a fanged monster. I like, how real you just made all that, because a lot of times when people talk about AI just started going okay, But and then he's very beautiful. Then you could use your your neuurlink to control the robotic arm to reach for the damp towel. I'm now imagining Lily Tomlin pomp in distress near a sand dune. Uh no, dude, we always

say most important thing in the world. Rarely is kind of a bit. But I don't know when this happened. If it was yesterday, I don't know, but this is when the news broke. I hope that poor guy didn't have a headache right now Jan thirtieth, twenty twenty four, the first day that a neuralink was implanted into a human brain. I mean that that actually is something that we might in twenty fifty, one hundred, one thousand years look back as like, oh my god, very well could be like

yeah, it could be year zero. Yeah, like for whatever the future of humanity is like the day the first you know, Ford rolled off the assembly line and we were introduced to the combustible engine car. And maybe it's a bigger deal today if he hadn't been all over the news the last year because of Twitter. Yeah, Like, I mean, a lot of his equity and good faith that's built in him less about any type of rocket that's exploded or anything. It's about just the cluster f that has been his purchase

of Twitter. Yeah, no doubt. And look, the curtain's been lifted on the Wizard for sure, and he has been revealed as a normal, weird human man that he's not this mysterious scientist that's you know, kind of yeah, abnormal. Well, you know, like the rest of us. He's a nut, but he's nuts. Yeah, and he may not be everything that the mysterious narrative that was created about him. He doesn't really live

up to that. He's a guy that you know, is probably really smart and buys companies and probably appropriates other people's ideas and claims him as his own. He said he didn't invent neurolink, is what I'm saying. He's not in the lab with a soldering iron and some and some pliers, funded and facilitated, he said in late twenty two. And again, this is a big Neuralink presentation, So you're on your a game there, you're trying to

sell this thing to the world. But he did say the planners to this would eventually allow blind people to see, give someone with a severed spinal cord full body functionality. Maybe that's amazing, but I feel like that's a bit of a force field for trying to get people to legally allow, you know, for the government to allow you to do this on a mass level, you know, like that kind of thing. That's what we have to do,

is you have to act like there's this altruistic reason for it. But it'll take one second for the conspiracy conspiracy types to think, uh oh, mind control minus mindless killing machines everywhere, which we have enough movies to represent as well. And I you know I've been clear on this. I'm on team Elon Musk will be our first supervillain. Yeah, once he gets mad at us and he can fund an army that's bigger than half of the armies

on on planet Earth. Dead oone military with his own rocketshows full doctor evil. Those feel a little closer than even when he said that six months ago. Yeah, those like every get mad and then yeah, and even more possible that he dies in one of his rockets and his mysterious or something like that. And then this kid x zero XO five suddenly is the richest little

kid in the world and mad that the world took daddy away. We'll see birthdays though, because we are narrow chip telling you look out for this stuff. The world's best detective would be the only one that could stop him. We rely on you to keep your eye on these things. Yeah, I know. That's why sleep easy under the blanket of security at which I provide.

We have a birthday in the NFL today. Remember the twenty first no, sorry, twenty seven, they have one b John Robinson hooked them who Arthur Smith said, you know what, we will draft you early in the draft and then not use you much. Oh yeah, that's why people get canned. Maybe use him and you don't lose your job, Arthur Yeah, terrible. Or used Kyle Pitts, or use Drake London any of your first round offensive weapons that didn't get enough run. Josh Brent thirty six. You

keep handing it to Corderyo Patterson Algier. Josh Brent thirty six off Cowboy the lineman Jos Brant. Do you guys remember the player he? I mean, this was the significance of him. He got in big trouble. Well, he got in a wreck drinking and driving with and killed a teammate. Oh that was him, and they had to you know, they had a road game in Cincinnati and Garrett. It was a big moment and I think it's allowed Garrett to stay around a little bit longer. Is he really brought the

team together during all that when a teammate died. Jerry Brown was the linebacker, that's right, Josh Brint thirty six. You know what, Josh Brynt. I think they ended up getting him a job for the Cowboys for a while. I'm not sure what he's doing right now, but I think he was working for the Cowboys a little bit, like scouting department or stuff like that. Maybe not anymore though, not sure. Uh. Kid Cutty's forty One of the wildest days. It was Super Bowl New York, my first

Super Bowl ever, covered New York twenty thirteen. And they're breaking bad times right and they are bringing around Aaron Paul and Jesse Pinkman and they're like, who's this guy he's with because they're promoting the Need for Speed movie and no one knew that it was Kid Cutty. And I was like, Kid Cutty's

like a big rapper right now, and no one knew that. I felt bad for Kid Cuddy because everyone to just overhere, jo and over, you know, and breaking back is the biggest thing in the world at the time. It's kind of wild who just kind of sat there and really wouldn't talk to that much. I feel bad for him. I don't know' skanda job's forty one? Who it's gone a job? Oh, it's gone a job. Uh so got a job? Do do? Dude? No? No? No? I like Sagana job. Yeah. It was fun. Wilder

Valderrama is forty four, uh, seventy shows. He's probably big trouble. Is he big trouble? I think he escaped everyone else big. Yeah. He He was with Mandy Moore for a while. Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah yeah, Trimal, she moves the needle. Did he get Dimmy Levado all messed up? I think he got her all. He had a big man. Ryan Adams from Mandy Moore were together too wilda. She picked

some weird ones. Well, I think I have a chance. Met Mandy Moore when she was fifteen, David Lindsay Lohan when she was eighteen, when he was twenty four, and Demi Levado relationship going on. She was seventeen he was twenty nine. But hey, he's married to Amana Pacheco, the husband of the chiefs running Back Now I mean the wife the chief running Back or not weird, the daughter of the fight doctor Ferdy Pacheco, fight doctor

Muhammad Ali's famous doctor, the most famous doctor in boxing history. No one knows General Trivia Ferdy Pacheco. And someone out there was like, hell, yeah, of course I know the fight doctor. I know who the fight doctor is. You could win Rob Zombie tickets. Rob Zombie tickets. I like the coud there because no, Christian Bale's fifty, that's it. Yeah, he was older than that. Yeah, and he's snapping on someone right now. He's a He's a method actor, isn't he? Weight be the

mechanic? Any one of those dudes that just stays in character like the entire time Christian Bale. Yeah. Yeah, he's an absolute nut and he's great, but he's he acts his ass off. Yea. Olivia Coleman's fifty, I always forget her. Uh, double sports birth days at sixty nine. Mike tom Izzo and Curtis Strange. You're wow. Those are my guys. Tom Izzo, the Michigan State Spartan coaching legend, and the great Curtis Strange. What's your favor? Yeah? I just want to ask you, what's

what's your favorite? Curtis Strange moment he went back to back US Opens, Didy Curtis Ranger moment. I think the time that he was he was giving bad analysis and a major him and Azinger a little too much. Phil Collins is seventy three. He is nineteen eighty eight and nineteen eighty nine US Open

champions. Gratulations Kurt Haftery birthday could hit you some strange al right, He's sixty nine, man, there's only one way to celebrate that milestone, sixty nine and Tim am Ti tom Izzo or Tim Ozzo with Tim tom Izzo. Dick Cheney's eighty three, Gene Hackman ninety four. Payne Stewart would have been sixty seven. We are zipping through them our time we did. We go to late and Payne Stewart and then Payne Stewart. That's a whole deal,

just gloss over like a schmuck. A schmuck. And the Americans on FX came out on this day ten. I'm sorry, eleven years ago, twenty thirteen. There's your birthdays. Thanks. You would love the Americans, Bro. I think I watched the first season. I think I liked it. Really, it's great. Come him next. Lill Sports at seven, plays a little bit of math stuff, cut a big math segment at eight. They're already talking about this happening for the Cowboys in twenty twenty five too,

and it's kind of nuts. Next to ninety seven. What the freak
