Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out.

**Joe Rogan** (0:03)
The Joe Rogan Experience.

**Jamie** (0:06)
Trained by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.

**SPEAKER_5** (0:12)
All right, we're good, we're good.

**Joe Rogan** (0:14)
We had a slight issue, slight technical glitch.

**Duncan Trussell** (0:18)
Glitch.

**Joe Rogan** (0:18)
But we're up. What were we just talking about?

**Duncan Trussell** (0:21)
We were talking about that if you hum a tune, Oh, right, right. That you will get dinged.

**Joe Rogan** (0:26)
Yeah, you'll get flagged on YouTube if you just hum a sound from a song.

**Duncan Trussell** (0:31)
Yeah.

**Joe Rogan** (0:32)
Like the beginning bars of a song.

**Duncan Trussell** (0:34)
Yeah, you can't. I wonder how far that goes. Like, could it get to the point where an AI could hear you humming it in your car or something? Like, how far does the protection of music go?

**Joe Rogan** (0:45)
Well, it's you're not generating revenue from your car, right? So the thing is, you're generating revenue from a podcast. And their logic is if you hum. What is that song? The Sunshine of My Love? Is that what it is? You know, that song that I always hum to associate with people being high out of their fucking mind. You know, it goes, you can't say it. If I did that, we would get dinged, which is so crazy. We were just saying, like, if you quoted a Scarface movie, would Brian DePalma get all the money? If you said, say, hello to the bad guy, would Brian DePalma get that money?

**Duncan Trussell** (1:18)
I don't think so. I think you're allowed to quote stuff. But I know that-

**Joe Rogan** (1:22)
That is Brian DePalma, right? Scarface, wasn't it?

**Jamie** (1:25)
Yeah.

**Joe Rogan** (1:26)
I don't want to fuck that up.

**Jamie** (1:28)
I think so.

**Duncan Trussell** (1:29)
You know those auditors that go around and film people, and people get mad, because they're like, don't film me. And they're like, I could film whatever the fuck I want.

**Joe Rogan** (1:37)
Right.

**Duncan Trussell** (1:37)
And they, inevitably, some boomer freaks out and smacks them with a cane, and then they get a million views. And it's just a trap. It's a trap.

**Joe Rogan** (1:47)
It's a trap.

**Duncan Trussell** (1:48)
Because inevitably, someone loses their mind on them, and then that gets a ton of views. One of the ways people are dealing with that, supposedly, is playing music. Like playing copyrighted music during the interaction.

**Joe Rogan** (2:01)
Oh my god, that's hilarious.

**Duncan Trussell** (2:02)
So then they can't make money off of it. It's a shield. It's a shield if someone's trolling you. You just start playing copyrighted music.

**Joe Rogan** (2:12)
Did you hear that the CIA has admitted that the way they found the pilot was because of his heart rate?

**Duncan Trussell** (2:21)
Ghost Murmur. That's the name of the tech.

**Joe Rogan** (2:24)
We gotta look into this. Like this is science fiction.

**Duncan Trussell** (2:30)
Yeah, it's wild.

**Joe Rogan** (2:31)
This is full minority report. It's crazy. Science fiction level technology.

**Duncan Trussell** (2:35)
It's AI.

**Joe Rogan** (2:35)
They can find a guy's heart rate.

**Duncan Trussell** (2:39)
So what I read is that it's, I didn't understand the science part. Something to do with crystals or I don't know what the fuck it is. But AI is somehow interpreting, is taking out the noise.
And then you can, from far away, Like 40 miles, I think. 40 miles. They find this guy's fucking heartbeat. He's hiding in some kind of crevice. And then they're able to go and extract him. And dude, obviously the first thing I thought, What else don't they tell us? No, those robot dogs. I thought about those things, having that tech and just like hearing heartbeats. And then identify, heartbeats has a lot about a person.
Are they sleeping? Are they like in good shape, bad shape? You can learn so much from a heartbeat. Ghost murmur.

**Joe Rogan** (3:27)
Oh my god.

**Duncan Trussell** (3:28)
Fucking great name too.

**Joe Rogan** (3:29)
It's a great name.

**Duncan Trussell** (3:30)
Ghost murmur.

**Joe Rogan** (3:31)
What sick fuck invented this? How do you even think about inventing this?

**Duncan Trussell** (3:37)
You just, you know, the CIA, they've been taking psychedelics forever.

**Joe Rogan** (3:41)
What is that word?

**Duncan Trussell** (3:43)
Quantum magnetometry.

**Joe Rogan** (3:45)
Artificial intelligence with long-range quantum magnetometry.

**Duncan Trussell** (3:51)
What the fuck is that?

**Joe Rogan** (3:52)
Quantum means two things to me. When someone says quantum, it either means you're a bullshit artist.

**Duncan Trussell** (3:57)
Yes.
