HELLO, FUTURE with Kevin Cirilli is the daily podcast where tomorrow’s biggest questions come alive. Are aliens already visiting us? Could your next job be in space? What if satellites could find lost cities, or stop the next wildfire? What happens if America loses the space race… or if every satellite went dark tomorrow? From Mars to UFOs, from flying cars to ''civilization starter kits'', each episode blends science, technology, and imagination with the real choices shaping our world. It’s smart, fast, and curious, built for anyone who’s ever looked up at the night sky and wondered what comes next. This isn’t science fiction. It’s the future, knocking on your door. HELLO FUTURE can be found on the iHeart Radio App.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is a podcast from Doubor back now to the
dou Wor Saturday Morning Show with Larry Minty. Well, it
is a modern day miracle made possible by Elon Musk
futurist reporter. Kevin'surreally tells us about neurolink. And I've talked
to you about this before, Kevin. It's fifteen minutes, right,
(00:20):
and with that you're going to learn something you didn't know.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yeah, It's it's like I always say, come down my
rabbit hole. And now we've got an episodes. I'm like,
we talk about robots in one episode, and then we
talk about you know, civilization, starter kits, and then I'm
interviewing an astronaut and then it's quick conversations. And I
will say, I'm always thinking to myself, I do wish
I had more time. But the thing I'm upsets with today, Larry.
(00:46):
As I'm driving back from Penn State, I was speaking
at my alma mater and I gotta say I love
pet State. I mean it is a beautiful campus this
time of year.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Did you say goodbye to James Franklin the football coach?
Did you see him?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Well, it's all I actually, you know, you can break
some news as I'd be sarcastic now, I said, listen,
if you guys want to fire me and give me
a fifty million dollar check, would gladly, gladly take it?
You know, like what the heck is going on up there?
But uh, but I love that place. It's it's Happy
Valley for a reason. Man, But I got my girl stickies.
(01:19):
Enough of that. Promoting the show, Hello Future. So I
remember when I was a kid, and I remember you
would walk down the street and you'd say that person
had a nose job or other work done, or.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
That person life.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Okay again, well okay, n well you know, okay, I
mean whatever. So, and I'm going to be not crass
on your program because it's still early right, so we
maybe that person has mark time. I look forward to
the day where we're saying, has that person had a
brain job? Has that person had a brain implant? Because
(01:55):
these micro chips and elon musk and neurallink and everything
that's happening, I mean, the future is here. There's you know,
we can talk about him. We'll go into it on
the show about you know, the long term implications of
having bad actors like China and Russia controlling the chips
that are going to be implanted into our brains. But
in the short term, I mean talk about a medical miracle.
To be able to see someone who's lost a limb
(02:17):
be able to have a brain ship and they're able
to use their prosthetic arm immediately, or they're able to
regain speech and be able to communicate via computer. I
think that's an awesome, awesome thing for these people.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Absolutely. We talked about this at length back when they
were Elon Musk was getting just railed when they were
going after him, when they were they were wanting they
wanted him to be hung by his feet in the hall.
And what I said was, this is a guy that's
going to help the paralyzed walk again. He's going to
(02:53):
help the blind. See, he's not a villain. This man's
not a villain because he's trying to cut the government.
He's a miracle worker. And this is the primary example
of that. Please talk a little bit more about it,
because I think this is extremely important topic because this
is the future and it's not that far away.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
No, it's already here. And so I think, you know,
my dad just haid heart surgery. He had stints place
in his hearts. And we live in a time now, Larry,
where that's not uncommon, you know what I mean. I mean,
no one blinks when you say I've got to have
my kneeb replace or my hip or placed. And so
why don't we have that same preventative care on our brains.
And so especially when it comes to Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's,
(03:36):
we're on the cusp of these brain technologies being preventative
and to be able to get preventative health care for
our brain, which is the engine for our entire lives.
We already have these conversations, by the way, I mean
it dates back to when your mom and dad would
say eat your vegetables it's good for your brain, or
an apple a day keeps the doctor away, or even
(03:57):
a couple of years ago with those zepech when that
conversation really took off. So this idea that somehow brain
ships are not going to be able to help us,
especially as a nanotechnology, and what do they ultimately do?
All they do if your brain is a bunch of wires,
and you think of an electrician in your mind going
into the ceiling or the wall and you see all
(04:18):
of the different colored wires and maybe one of them
short circuited. The brain ship essentially is just a fix.
It's an ability to get the wires and to jumpstart
the wires again, to connect to them, and to be
able to help get your brain back to functioning. And
so I think that's the very simple version of this.
(04:39):
But from a longer term perspective, you know, in the
next fifty seventy five, one hundred, two hundred years, yeah,
there's national security systemic questions that should be asked. I
believe in innovation and an America democracy, and you know,
I want to make sure that American companies and innovators
are at the forefront of this, and not that actors
(05:00):
who are controlling the brain chips.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
But Elon Musk's company is far out in front of
this is aren't they?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yes, for sure? But there's also other industries supporting it.
And that's what I think from an economics and I'll
put on my old Bloomberg cap for a second. From
an economics standpoint, the data that is required to do this,
the manufacturing to build these chips, in addition to the
cyber secure networks and systems that this neuralink would have
(05:27):
to operate on. It's an entire new industry, and that
I really hope is what Hello Future ultimately gets into
and that inspires people to think beyond. Is that this
shift and the systems that we're all building for our
future is you know, it starts with, as you said,
a blind person being able to see, or someone who's
(05:47):
who can't who can't walk being able to walk again.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Kevin, I'm so glad we talked about this story today.
I was amazed at it when I first heard about it,
and people can learn more about it, I'm sure on
your podcast, Kevin. Kevin serrelli host of the podcast Hello
Future on the iHeartRadio app, and he talks about things
like this all of the time, things that aren't on
the radar but should be. Kevin, it was good to
(06:13):
talk to you. Have a good weekend.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Thank you later. I appreciate you.

The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
