Speaker 1 (00:00):
Tomorrow's Monsters as a production of My Heart Radio Flynn
Picture Company, Psyde Copia Pictures and Upper Room Productions, June PM.
This is Dr Cassandra Berkeley. This is case number one
zero two one test subject Max Fuller. Are you sure
(00:30):
you want to do this? Max? It seems a little risk,
He doesn't it. I get that, but you know, self
experimentation as along and well documented history Benjamin Franklin, Albert Hoffman,
Kevin Warwick, to name a few. Anyway, single subject researches
(00:50):
are only option now. Besides, I'm not alone. I have you,
but I'm the only lifeguard on duty. I trust you. Okay?
Sixty two point five PRF for five seconds, eyes forward,
(01:20):
deep breath. When I woke up on the floor of
(01:57):
my apartment, I felt like I'd been very Then with
sand I had to peel myself off the cement fluid.
Took me a few moments to regain focus and find
a clock. It was after one pm. Then I started
to catch up with my situation. I had been attacked.
(02:22):
I scared. My refliction no bruises christ except a nasty
confusion where my forehead must have collided with the ground.
When I felt she's I hear her keys to wake
up the computer and tied to my password. The screensaver
vanished and there it was at best box page still
(02:44):
opened on the desktop. Something was different. They were missing files,
like half of them were gone. No man, I tried
to play the same files team the night before from
one of the transitions with to March, but it wasn't
it was. I looked about my palmer for the signs
(03:05):
of intrusion, but it was one good morning, Cassandra. You
wanted to see me. What the hell happened to you? You
You get in a fight? You're able to tell a
(03:25):
rock stepping on the shower walk with me? That kind
of helped your headache definitely hasn't. Well, that's understandable considering
the pressure we're all under after your last conversation with Max. Okay, look, cast,
I'm not going to take responsibility. Thank you. By the way, sure,
(03:46):
what time is your pod leaving? Finn and I are
planning to meet up at the hotel. Allowed to go
over this speech one more time, have a couple of visits.
I think that'll be good for him. Here's something I
don't think you should go. I'm sorry, I don't think
you're up for this. M I don't like I said,
it's just a headache. I command to see. Yes, I'm
(04:07):
not talking about c E s. And what are you
talking about? Letting you go? Gotcha? Oh? You know Max
is the one who hired me. Max is gone and
he also sized my checks. Under current conditions, I have
full authority to terminate. All right? What what conditions of that? Well?
(04:30):
One condition is that Max is gone. Another condition is
that Max is gone in part because of you. And
I'm not buying your bullshit excuses anymore. Looked at yourself
in the mere lately, you're a mess. Jack. You're obviously
not up to this. Okay, all right, I'm not getting good.
(04:51):
You're blind? What did you say? Not only am I upitius,
I'm you're an hope. Fain will be completely lot about me.
He may seem like he's got this, but the truth
is he's got a chance of puking the mini steps
out on that stage. I need you to look around.
(05:11):
I'm the anchor here. He trusts me, and if I
don't show up a sea, yes, he's going to fold
like a fucking sock. And you know it. Okay, that's
more like it. You know, I learned a long time
(05:32):
ago that people are much more complex than most of us.
Assume we all have more than one version of ourselves.
Sometimes it just takes the right stimulation to bring out
the best one. I like this side of you, Jack,
but I'm still not convinced that you fully grasp just
how important this speeches. Of course I do, because if
(05:55):
Finn doesn't absolutely nail this, I mean fucking nail this
too the wall, there won't be a next corp to
come back to. What's that? You know what that is?
That's a shut I applica uh huh. Finn is a
(06:20):
brilliant man. His mind works in ways that I cannot fathom.
But Finn is not Max. I think you know that
if you want to keep your job, you will need
to step up. If you will need to be more
than a cheerleader. You will need to be Finn's right
hand to keep him relaxed and sharp and focused, which
(06:43):
means I will need you relaxed and sharp and focused.
I need you to be the best version of yourself.
This is buyinry, Jack. You are either with us or
you are fired it. I had underestimated my opponent, Cass
(07:08):
wasn't blind at all. She'd been watching me all along,
waiting her web black of spider. Now I was trapped.
She was five moves ahead of me, and she knew it.
Every outcome was the same check me, every outcome except one.
My worst possible option was suddenly my only option. O
(07:29):
Cass had me. Yet the only thing that mattered was
the end game and taken down next Corp, tell me
that you understand. How do I take it? It's easy,
Just hold this to your eye, okay, relax, I'm going
(07:53):
to count down, ready, yeah, three two to kill him
one star. Sometimes we have to become one ourselves. How
(08:35):
do I take it? It's easy, Just hold this to
your eye, okay, relax, I'm going to count down, ready, yeah, yeah,
three two one. It was a flash of bright light
(09:01):
and then warmth, gelatin, like the heat of anesthesia, slivering
through your veins before it takes you out. But it
doesn't take you out. It takes you in electricity that
seems to start at your extremities and then pulses upward
and inward, moving fast, until all the sensation collides no
(09:22):
unpleasantly in your scalp. And then this bath of white light.
This wash of pressure pulses back outward in a burst
of energy as a flash that seems to last an eternity. Bods,
It's over and blink of an eye and I'm back
there where I was back in the room looking at Casperkeley.
(09:48):
How do you feel? Jack? A hard reboot and my
mind had been upgraded with a new process of build
dream logic and a micraine. He's gone, hold on, okay,
(10:23):
I'm in a car behind but in a Dell Taco
on the way to the loop. I I had to
pause for a sick pull over a quiet moment. Can
can I help you? Jack lock H? He was asking,
(10:44):
I'm agent Batty h e A, well you want to
call look like you're talking to something now, man, just
connecting my thoughts self meditation and I just needed some man,
so I pulled over. I guess the air behind del
Taco can't be beat. Yeah, not to some mel Fiesta
bowls in the morning. Were you were you following me?
Of course I was following you. I'm sorry, mate. Am
(11:08):
I in trouble? I don't know? Oh yeah, how can
I help you? Agent Bating? Do you know what we
do with the human enhancement administration, You enforced laws surrounding humans.
Were nice here, but wait, are they any real laws
or just a few bills bown around in the chambers
of Congress. I just wanted to know your chosen field
(11:30):
has grown very quickly. Yeah, and you're correct. And actually
tried to go to the h A, and so they
said they help a week after Michael's death. But I
soon realized that I have to investigate the matter myself. Sure,
the h A has the power of a federal law
enforcement agency, but I soon realized that it was really
just a basement operation, newly formed, underfunded, and understaffed. But
(11:53):
then they showed up. So you're the ones who shut
down the shot I trials? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, people were
sent to the hospital. Oh so you he had to
protect people? Nice? What if Max Fuller told you about
your brother m I'm sorry, what has he told you
(12:14):
about your brother's involvement? And shut eye? All right, nothing.
We haven't talked about manything. He doesn't know you're related.
He doesn't know why not. Oh it hasn't come up.
It's curious, it's personal. Yeah, yeah, i'd say it is.
(12:38):
Come on, what exactly are you're doing it next? Corpse Jack,
I'm helping develop state of the art technologies that will
move mankind forward. Well, Jack, do me a favor. Let
me know how that goes. That's my card. Oh yeah, Look,
(12:58):
if you happen to talk to Dr Wolds again, would
you get out of return my call? Enjoy Ces. Maybe
we'll see you there. Fuck me, Jennalicole Abbey calling Dr
(13:18):
Abbe Reynolds. This is Dr Abbey Reynolds. If this is
a medical emergency, hang up in down. Otherwise, if I
said the next few hours were blood, well, I'd be
lying to you. I was moved fast for shure and shy.
(13:46):
I remembered every second with a strange clarity, each scuffle
of a shoe on the concrete platform fly cleansed overlooks,
the rasp in the voice of a gay agent who
had been working too many hours. Ye. All the while,
I'm just just to be to be awake, really awake,
(14:09):
sitting and again rocky in across the desert, Bloody Las Vegas.
(14:32):
My father loved Vegas. Suckers stacked in every direction, he said.
Centuries before neuroscience was even a thing, magicians had a
really cracked the code on the human brain. They learned
through trial and error that they could control what an
organ sees or does not see, what they believe or
do not believe. Max Foller was right. Humans are flawed,
(14:55):
and it's a conman's job to exploit these flaws. Inaccurate memory,
susceptibility to suggestion, they need to perceive cause and effect.
Even a small time hustler relies completely on these vulnerabilities
to make a living. As I moved through the Casino hotel,
it felt like I was stepping into a time warp.
(15:16):
Everyone was moving in slow motion except for me. Casinos
are designed to make you use track of time and space.
No clocks, no windows, so the suckers will know how
long they've been losing money. Amazed with no clear exit,
but I was hyper aware of every second and every
(15:37):
step I took deeper into this labyrinth. My mind was
involuntarily bapping my way. Okay, I just passed a man
and I looked nor More a little too normal. Shorts, sandals, sunglasses,
and now yeah, he's swallowing me. It was a little
cold out for shorts and sandals. But then Vegas is
(15:58):
like a giant pressurized space station with his own internal
atmosphere to keep the suckers slightly high. In the endless
lab ruth of slow machines and oxygen bars and poker
tables and pancake per face, you can go for days.
We'veout ever seen daylight in Vegas. But this guy, short sleeve,
buttoned down, still had creases in it, fresh out of
(16:20):
this package. And when I got to the elevator, the
guy passed by. Jack. You had six missed calls from
Finn connolly Blood. I rolled into my hotel about seven pm.
I'm still lee up from the afternoons does and probably
a head of a lot less worried than I should
have been about prepping Finn to speaking Max's absence. That
(16:41):
will change five minutes after I walked into my hotel room.
I'm going Jesus coming. Oh hey man, hey man, were
you gonna call me when you got in? Or what?
I don't not? Just how happened to your head? So important? Look,
I think we should rewrite the sort of aspirational section.
I don't really think I'm in less than probably Do
(17:03):
you have your laptop right now? You all right? Me? No,
I'm not all right. I'm getting ready to ship myself
here do you have your laptop or not? But Finn
was effectively having a panic attack that lost it from
the hotel, into the car and on into the convention center.
He was a mess. But we've reached a point in
(17:24):
our evolution where for the first time, we can choose
m we can choose we can we can choose hip jack.
I don't know, man not just still doesn't sing. It
sounds great. It sounds great. Seriously, it's effective, eloquent on message,
and we're really running low on time here. I think
(17:44):
you're ready, right, I just think I just think we
can still make a few little minor cuts in, just
like a just a few hey, hey, hey, excuse me,
you what are we looking at? Time wise? Three minutes
of ship? Okay, thank you, shift ship. I'm not ready
for it's right, it's time. Oh thank god, cass, how's
(18:04):
it looking? It's a ship show cast. He's ready. He's
just freaked out, right, I'm freaked out. This is absurdain. Hey, Finn,
what you know what's happening right now? Yeah? Yeah, I
know it's happening. My brain is releasing cortisol, which is
raising my heart right now, it's modulating he okay, I
need you to take the very deep breath right now,
(18:25):
Take a breath, Take a breath. I want you to
remember something, you what You don't need to impress anyone.
You can't be Max. They don't expect that our of you.
What do they expect an awkward keep that I can do.
It's true, Finn, we're pitching to the money people. And
do you know what the money people want to see?
The money people want to see. They want to see
(18:46):
the brains of the operation. They want to see the spine.
They want to know if there's someone real behind the curtain.
I can't do this, cast, I can't do this. I'm
not going to just give me a second. Hey, how
much time do we have? One minute? Ben? Look at me?
Look at me? What? What? What? Okay? Forget all this?
(19:09):
Once Max told me that the only reason next corp
or shot or any of this ever happened was all
because of you. Like a project that you were working on,
right that the reconnect, the reconnected reconnected mind Yeah right right?
That said He wasn't even sure if he wanted to
continue living anymore after his father had died. But for you,
but for me, yes, yes, he came to visit you,
(19:31):
and he saw something in you that changed him. He
sort of looking your eye, that wonder about the mechanics
of the universe and the human mind. That that's something
Max doesn't even have, but mate, you do because you
actually live for this ship. And that's the good stuff. Yeah,
the good stuff, the good stuff. That that is what matters.
(19:52):
That stuff is all that matters. This speech. You memorize
everything we wrote, you know what, just forget it. Just
throw it away. Man, it's stressing you. You don't need
to try to be the most charming pathon in the
room because you're really a lot of the most trauma
pushing in the room. Man. All you need to do
is share it. Just walk twenty over there and tell him,
tell him about it, about the good stuff, all right,
(20:13):
give him the good stuff, the good stuff. Yeah, Okay.
At this point, I was starting to come down from
the show. I guess that would be the phrase. Definitely
felt less bright, and there was a ghost of a
headache in the corners of my brain, just a whisp.
I would have been worried more if the next few
(20:34):
moments hasn't wrenched my attention away. Has dedicated his life
to this exact principle. It's my great pleasure to welcome
the lead engineer of Next Corp. Mr Finn Connolly. Thank you,
(20:55):
thank you. Uh. It's amazing to be in front of
you tonight. It's amazing that we live in a world
that allows us cs given the long and fraud history
of man and technology. Mm hmm. Ever since we first
stole fire from the gods, the same question is asked
(21:17):
of every technology, are they more helpful or more hurtful?
From language to the printing press to microchips, and the
naysayers always have the same argument. With every new technology
that we become dependent on for survival, we become weaker
as a species. But that is actually shortsighted. It's not
(21:42):
that we're dependent on our inventions. It's that we're dependent
on our ability to invent genetics, AI, nanotech, thought ware.
These are scary words because they unknown and they feel dangerous.
(22:03):
But this, this is human kind's next frontier. Right when
he had them, the craziest thing happened. Holy shit from
the shadows on the far end of the stage of figuring,
Luves dressed in a black suit, hair swept back and
eyes bunning. Wow, I'll be Damned Max Fuller every Day

long they've been losing money. Amazed with no clear exit,
but I was hyper aware of every second and every
(15:37):
step I took deeper into this labyrinth. My mind was
involuntarily bapping my way. Okay, I just passed a man
and I looked nor More a little too normal. Shorts, sandals, sunglasses,
and now yeah, he's swallowing me. It was a little
cold out for shorts and sandals. But then Vegas is
(15:58):
like a giant pressurized space station with his own internal
atmosphere to keep the suckers slightly high. In the endless
lab ruth of slow machines and oxygen bars and poker
tables and pancake per face, you can go for days.
We'veout ever seen daylight in Vegas. But this guy, short sleeve,
buttoned down, still had creases in it, fresh out of
(16:20):
this package. And when I got to the elevator, the
guy passed by. Jack. You had six missed calls from
Finn connolly Blood. I rolled into my hotel about seven pm.
I'm still lee up from the afternoons does and probably
a head of a lot less worried than I should
have been about prepping Finn to speaking Max's absence. That
(16:41):
will change five minutes after I walked into my hotel room.
I'm going Jesus coming. Oh hey man, hey man, were
you gonna call me when you got in? Or what?
I don't not? Just how happened to your head? So important? Look,
I think we should rewrite the sort of aspirational section.
I don't really think I'm in less than probably Do
(17:03):
you have your laptop right now? You all right? Me? No,
I'm not all right. I'm getting ready to ship myself
here do you have your laptop or not? But Finn
was effectively having a panic attack that lost it from
the hotel, into the car and on into the convention center.
He was a mess. But we've reached a point in
(17:24):
our evolution where for the first time, we can choose
m we can choose we can we can choose hip jack.
I don't know, man not just still doesn't sing. It
sounds great. It sounds great. Seriously, it's effective, eloquent on message,
and we're really running low on time here. I think
(17:44):
you're ready, right, I just think I just think we
can still make a few little minor cuts in, just
like a just a few hey, hey, hey, excuse me,
you what are we looking at? Time wise? Three minutes
of ship? Okay, thank you, shift ship. I'm not ready
for it's right, it's time. Oh thank god, cass, how's
(18:04):
it looking? It's a ship show cast. He's ready. He's
just freaked out, right, I'm freaked out. This is absurdain. Hey, Finn,
what you know what's happening right now? Yeah? Yeah, I
know it's happening. My brain is releasing cortisol, which is
raising my heart right now, it's modulating he okay, I
need you to take the very deep breath right now,
(18:25):
Take a breath, Take a breath. I want you to
remember something, you what You don't need to impress anyone.
You can't be Max. They don't expect that our of you.
What do they expect an awkward keep that I can do.
It's true, Finn, we're pitching to the money people. And
do you know what the money people want to see?
The money people want to see. They want to see
(18:46):
the brains of the operation. They want to see the spine.
They want to know if there's someone real behind the curtain.
I can't do this, cast, I can't do this. I'm
not going to just give me a second. Hey, how
much time do we have? One minute? Ben? Look at me?
Look at me? What? What? What? Okay? Forget all this?
(19:09):
Once Max told me that the only reason next corp
or shot or any of this ever happened was all
because of you. Like a project that you were working on,
right that the reconnect, the reconnected reconnected mind Yeah right right?
That said He wasn't even sure if he wanted to
continue living anymore after his father had died. But for you,
but for me, yes, yes, he came to visit you,
(19:31):
and he saw something in you that changed him. He
sort of looking your eye, that wonder about the mechanics
of the universe and the human mind. That that's something
Max doesn't even have, but mate, you do because you
actually live for this ship. And that's the good stuff. Yeah,
the good stuff, the good stuff. That that is what matters.
(19:52):
That stuff is all that matters. This speech. You memorize
everything we wrote, you know what, just forget it. Just
throw it away. Man, it's stressing you. You don't need
to try to be the most charming pathon in the
room because you're really a lot of the most trauma
pushing in the room. Man. All you need to do
is share it. Just walk twenty over there and tell him,
tell him about it, about the good stuff, all right,
(20:13):
give him the good stuff, the good stuff. Yeah, Okay.
At this point, I was starting to come down from
the show. I guess that would be the phrase. Definitely
felt less bright, and there was a ghost of a
headache in the corners of my brain, just a whisp.
I would have been worried more if the next few
(20:34):
moments hasn't wrenched my attention away. Has dedicated his life
to this exact principle. It's my great pleasure to welcome
the lead engineer of Next Corp. Mr Finn Connolly. Thank you,
(20:55):
thank you. Uh. It's amazing to be in front of
you tonight. It's amazing that we live in a world
that allows us cs given the long and fraud history
of man and technology. Mm hmm. Ever since we first
stole fire from the gods, the same question is asked
(21:17):
of every technology, are they more helpful or more hurtful?
From language to the printing press to microchips, and the
naysayers always have the same argument. With every new technology
that we become dependent on for survival, we become weaker
as a species. But that is actually shortsighted. It's not
(21:42):
that we're dependent on our inventions. It's that we're dependent
on our ability to invent genetics, AI, nanotech, thought ware.
These are scary words because they unknown and they feel dangerous.
(22:03):
But this, this is human kind's next frontier. Right when
he had them, the craziest thing happened. Holy shit from
the shadows on the far end of the stage of figuring,
Luves dressed in a black suit, hair swept back and
eyes bunning. Wow, I'll be Damned Max Fuller every Day
