Parody Jeff-
Kurt MetzgerHOST
You know, you know uh, Neil deGrasse Tyson, after we interviewed him on Mystery Boys, and it was a dumb jo- He didn't say, he didn't say this, but as we were talking towards the end, we both said, "Hey, thanks for agreeing that, uh, one, we didn't land on the moon." John Casey said, "Thanks for agreeing we didn't land on the moon." He didn't agree to that.
Garland NixonHOST
No.
Kurt MetzgerHOST
And I said, "Thanks for agreeing that Gaza is a genocide.
Garland NixonHOST
Here's my question.
Garland NixonHOST
I said, "This is my question for you." Who determines what's misinformation? The people who came out with, um, babies being thrown out of incubators?
Kurt MetzgerHOST
Neil deGrasse Tyson, and he's not comfortable saying it's genocide.
Garland NixonHOST
Yeah, the people who came out with-

The sun, busy at work, keeping us warm and anybody else who uses sunlight, like all the other planets of the solar system.
Sean ThompsonHOST
Ah, what do you know, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson? You don't know anything! These Democrat morons with purple hair who hate their genitals, they're the ones who got the real beat of the system here.
Sean ThompsonHOST
See, Sean,
speaker_24AUDIENCE
this is one thing that we're going to have to understand.
Adam SigelHOST
And we're working hard to brew up new episodes.
Adam SigelHOST
This week, we thought we'd revisit our conversation with Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Adam SigelHOST
He was our guest on our episode about Star Wars and the Force.
Amy MainzerHOST
Neil's work as a science communicator puts him at the intersection of science and pop culture, so we asked him how he views the science in science fiction stories, as well as Neil's personal thoughts about all things in the geekosphere.
Amy MainzerHOST
We'll keep the treats and surprises coming.
Amy MainzerHOST
[upbeat music]
Adam SigelHOST
In the course of our conversation with Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, he talked about what he likes about fan culture and his personal story about growing up a big geek who loved science and superheroes.
Neil deGrasse TysonGUEST
And what I've always liked about Comic-Con as an, as an audience, I think-
Amy LaCourseGUEST
Mm.
Tom VannHOST
Well, it's like Neil deGrasse Tyson, like, uh, like, talks about jumping to the most, uh, far off, uh, you know, thing that it could be, like-
Dan DennisHOST
The craziest explanation
Tom VannHOST
...
GusHOST
Uh, Scientology's been around long enough now that, like you're saying, there's probably countless people that have written boo- similarly to people write books about, uh, you know, secular, uh, you know, religion.
GusHOST
There's probably people that have written tons and tons and tons of those books defending every possible fucking crazy nook and cranny that most people, including like, uh, probably, uh, a Neil deGrasse Tyson [laughs] type guy, would look at and just be like, "Yeah, that's not, that's not what space is." You know? Just so you know, like I'm pretty sure-
FrankHOST
Yeah
GusHOST
... of that.
Jim HaroldHOST
Show me the evidence.
Jim HaroldHOST
Bring me the body." I hear that all the time, Michael Shermer, Neil deGrasse Tyson, um, Shermer, who's been a guest on this show.
Jim HaroldHOST
And, and actually, I, I'll just do a little sidebar here.
Jim HaroldHOST
The interesting thing when I interviewed Shermer over 10 years ago, I almost said exactly the same thing to him.
Jonathan KendallGUEST
I know Jim Lacatski, in chapter nine of his book Initial Revelations, talks about there being a craft that the government has actually breached the hull, and it doesn't have any obvious means of propulsion or, or fuel or fuel containment.
Jonathan KendallGUEST
That would be the closest thing to it.
Jonathan KendallGUEST
I think Neil deGrasse Tyson, he softened on the view recently of UFOs.
Jonathan KendallGUEST
I think he's admitted maybe there is a there there.
Jerry ReccoHOST
we don't know, but it makes it more plausible and more, um, believable.
Jerry ReccoHOST
You know, I also know the more I listened to guys like Neil deGrasse Tyson and some of these other scientists on YouTube, there is so much crazy, that goes on just in our, you know, universe basically.
Jerry ReccoHOST
And then you think about how far and expanding it, it's infinite, you know.
Jerry ReccoHOST
But then there are scientists that will tell you it's not like scientifically possible for a lot of what we think is happening to have.
Yz AsiaGUEST
They made him a goddamn scientist.
Yz AsiaGUEST
He engages with Neil deGrasse.
Ron BrownHOST

Ron BrownHOST

Ron BrownHOST

Yz AsiaGUEST

Yz AsiaGUEST
Neil deGrasse is fascinated with him, his brain.
Yz AsiaGUEST
You wanna know why? And this is what a lot of dummy motherfuckers don't understand.
Grant VenerableGUEST
And it's very difficult for people, they're not trained for that.
Grant VenerableGUEST
I think the closest we can come is, uh, Neil deGrasse Tyson, who can at least break some things down scientifically to ascertain if they actually exist or why they exist, how they exist.
Grant VenerableGUEST
So I'm starting how I teach students how to solve chemical problems and calculations without a formula.
Jill NicoliniHOST
Okay.
Alicia CorbinHOST
