don't know people need to stop doing racial street videos yeah I think the
problem is that everybody nobody's good on camera no one's good yeah yeah so it
just everything always looks bad yeah you know for Neil deGrasse Tyson like I
was pretty good yeah he was good on camera he was pretty good but he that's
his job yeah that's really all he's good at is being on camera it's not like he's
no he's not a scientist he's not a scientist no he went to college 45 years
I know well that was what I asked him like after you I was like what was the
first it was your first like talking him he said he was a grad student still so
it's like yeah I don't because I just didn't know I was ignorant I said you
know like maybe he was like mr. hot shit astrophysicist and people like this is
the best guy we'll talk to him no he writes like a pop sociology or pop
science books yeah yeah yeah yeah because the other was Stephen Hawking he
like discovered shit yeah he like he did stuff to advance yeah mankind yeah
Neil
like no yes Neil's just our nerd friend yeah Neil's just America's nerd yeah
I honestly respect yeah it's kind of a con man he's kind of like in the same
you
know like we go around to comedy clubs doing an act he does he is neck and
guess
what his act makes people feel great but it's weird because people feel like
read
something like a like a meme with like a quote that's not even the right word
it'd be
like a music it makes them feel awesome like a talking head for sports like he's
like a basketball he's like Stephen a Smith and he has a like basic
understanding of basketball but yeah hasn't watched a game the stuff that he
was dropping in that interview we're like babies know that yeah right where he's
like it's your 36th birthday that means 36 did you know trips around the
Sun a triangle has three sides yeah yeah yeah the angles are the same oh you
see
yeah mm-hmm a B C there's like that part that it didn't really make it in
really
because we cut a lot of it out because it got really annoying but he was like
making that weird argument which was supposed to be a pro-trans argument that
just ended up becoming like a racial race essentialist argument what where he
was
saying how like prejudice is inherent to our like construction of like the the
human
body itself we are inherently prejudiced and yeah because he was trying to say
that
thing about like oh because there's two words for two different genders that
does
that mean there's two different genders mm-hmm but then he like kind of got to
a
place where he was saying like if two babies were next to each other they would
immediately start being racist to it doesn't make any sense which okay let me
see that TV show
yeah yeah that would be a great show I would love that he's describing shorties
watching shorties he's like I've seen it there's actually a study yeah sure he's
watching shorty I mean no shame to me we really appreciate Neil for coming on
we
love him yeah no I'd love to have him back on more just to say just say stuff
just say stuff stuff and then you go what are you talking about dude there was
one
part we got out he's good at yeah started talking about the stoplight yeah I
was like
dude I don't fucking he's like if your blood what green color would it be if
your
blood was green would stop be green and then you go well what color be he's
like I
don't know I'm just asking a question yeah what a great question let me ask you
this if your fucking arms were vacuum cleaners yes what what would what would
fucking mugs look like yeah it's it's just it's it's for babies it's for babies
but
it's also for like like baby boober parents people on Facebook mm-hmm they
read that shit I don't think my parents know who Neil deGrasse Tyson I think my
parents do yeah he goes on like Bill Maher and so he goes on yeah and and like
he
makes people feel good he makes hearing him talk makes people feel like they
read a book or they learn something and it doesn't really matter what they said
they're like yeah I am being a good enough well I be interested in this and I
think that the appeal mostly stems from that kind of that conversation you know
you kept baiting him with all the atheism stuff or whatever whatever that part
was
well yeah that people is the the whole like what would you call that the
whatever
whatever whatever that that like uh like perspective keeping thing that the I
fucking love science people do they're like oh you're this this big in the
world oh yeah
like um right is it every grain of sand it operated allays we're every planet
on the
on the universe yeah existential dread that derives from just uh narcissism
basically yeah
Bye.
