Oh, no. I think that was by. I haven't quite focused on the conversational pieces from Rocky, the eight-year-old primate that has astounded scientists by copying words and sounds and then reproducing them in a conversational context. He's Learned to talk like a human According to this story Let's hear Rocky say hi

And bye Now there's a 52 second There's plenty of video out there And the The researchers are talking And this particular 52 second piece Of video of Rocky

You're going to hear the conversation between him and the scientist and the zookeeper. It's amazing. But let's just hear that, and you'll be absolutely amazed. Ah. I mean, Very loose. Huh. Very loose.

Oh, my gosh. Hi. Huh. Gosh. Oh, my gosh. He was able to learn new sounds as you could hear there and control the action of his voice in a way that humans do when they conduct a conversation. I mean, you could hear it there. It's amazing, I think.

that the primates are like that are speaking. Hi, Rocky. Well, Rocky, can you say bye? Absolutely astounding. Absolutely astounding. Come on now. Stop it. There's plenty of animals that can mimic.

And there's plenty of birds that can speak. I mean, I don't see the mimicking here as a conversation, Doc. I mean, perhaps we're looking for more grant money, plenty more study money to study orangutang so you can sit in your, in the cages and say your sound and have Rocky make this sound for high. And you, oh my gosh, he's speaking. I need more money. Listen, here he is saying bye.

Oh, my gosh, conversation. Amazing. Amazing. Rocky the oregatang, the giant ape who has learned to talk like a human. Hi. Okay, bye. Stop it. No, you stop it.

You stop it. I mean, I get maybe that the doc comes in and in the morning and says, hi, Rocky. I get she comes in. I get she comes in and says, hi, Rocky. How you doing? And Rocky goes, and that's his high in the morning. Okay, I got it. And then, okay, Rocky, I've got to go take care of a few other things.

Bye. And, you know, that's conversation for the orangutanketang. I got it. You know, dogs come when you call them too. That don't mean you're holding a conversation with them. Okay. Birds, the yellow-named parrot, will sing songs and say words. and talk back to you.

You don't really have a conversation. I mean, I've had a yellow name pair. He used to sing Swanee River. Way. And you just start, and he would sing, Swanee. I mean, that's kind of Rocky in the morning. Hi, Rocky. Huh.

That almost sounded like bye. What's by? See? I've got... Oh, that's by. That's right. Right, right. Right, right, right.

So this is by. Uh. Right. And high is the higher pitch one. Hi. Uh. Hi. Uh.

No, that's high. Let's hear bye. Yeah, that's bye. Oh, my gosh. Okay, so the doc or whoever she is comes in and says, and says, hi, and Rocky responds. Uh. Okay, and then she says bye. Good.

Now, in the video, after the conversation, Rocket gets fed. So it's kind of like, hey, if I make this sound, I get something to eat. If I make this sound, I get something else to eat. So, hi. Bye. Although the doc isn't even saying hi and bye. The doc is just saying, and Rocky isn't really coming that close to mimicking her sound.

He's just reacting to her. I can't take it. But it's okay. It's all right, Rocky. Say goodbye. is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. Thanks for listening to the show. You know, if you're in the market for a new mattress,
