Everyone picks on Neil for interrupting, but its often warranted to stay on track for a point he's making and needing to flesh out with precision.
True. Comedians love tangents and scientists love staying focused. Totally conflicting styles
Yes, of all the interviews I've heard of his, Pete does such a good job of using his speaking style as an advantage. This was such a delight.
He's super out of it now. Dude still goes on Rogan, so no sense of responsibility. He's been a bubble for so long he has idea what's going on in the world.... because he won't shut up.
“Would you eat a fish from the oceans of Europa?” PETE I CHOKED LAUGHING OH MY GOD THE BEST QUESTION TO ASK AN ASTROPHYSICIST.
Neil laughing at the moon is made of cheese joke has to be one of my favorite, most heartwarming milestones of this podcast's history. Just a perfectly tailored moment.
“University teaches you how to learn”
Love it. I studied music, surrounded by better musicians. But what I learned was “how to practice” AND with enough “good” practice you can learn to do some thing you thought impossible for you
You’re not “dumb” you just haven’t had enough practice enough for YOU to do something.
Some people need more (me), some need less, some can make the connections in time, some have enough interest to practice more.
“Talent” is a partial illusion resulting from this unpredictable combination of “interest” and “practice”
Couldn't agree more. I'd also say that "talent" seems to me, more often than not, is just an alignment of the way someone is most efficient at learning things, in combination with the type of skill being learned. Meaning, I was a very visual learner growing up, I struggled with math unless it had a visual component. I think the more "talented" mathematicians probably had a less visual based way of learning. I however excelled in the Arts and was often told how "Talented" I was, and often heard fellow classmates say stuff like "I could never draw that" "I don't have the skill to paint that". And I always remember being confused by this because I had a clear lineage of shitty work, to slightly less shitty work, to slightly better work, etc. etc. And it can become almost offensive, when someone passes off your time and dedication to a craft as just being something you're born with.
I wanted my life to end several times reading this until I had the realization that "life" doesn't really mean anything and doesn't have any real "purpose" and if that is true then "killing yourself" isn't really even "killing yourself" so I'm still here
Literally one of my most wanted YMIW guests since I started listening almost 10 years ago.
I find Neil unlikeable.
I just got done listening and I love this episode so much. Why has it taken so long to get him with Pete? Some would say the wait has been all worth it.
Who else was expecting to see what Neil DeGrasse Tyson looked like on the couch? 😂
They should start their own weekly podcast
I second this 💯🤙🏻
Neil went in a few times hahah. Love it. Love it when Pete gets this type of guest, he shines.
Pete subtlely turning on the V-Neck filter at 16:33 🤣I was like...damn...his chest is super smooth.
😂 holy sht! I had to go back and see it lol
I was like “did he change his fcking shirt when he cut to Tyson??? 🤣 WOW lol
'Europa Olestra fish swimming out of an anus'. This is the best interview ever.
LMAO my thought exactly.
Wow, I just can't stop thinking about this discussion. 45 minutes in.. I had to get ready to start cleaning the pieces of my brain that was blown all over the inside of my vehicle. What a dynamic flip also from the perspective of a long time diehard, you made it weird fan, to hear Pete Holmes graciously allow the guest to just wonderfully ramble uninterrupted.
Thank you, Pete Holmes and thank you and NDT.
Pete’s Ray Romano impression is an easy 10/10. 💯
Amazing episode!! Thank you for this. Truly an experience watching you two go back and forth 😊
Neil said that when your brain shuts down, you become a vegetable. However, we have already established that vegetables don’t have a need for a brain. That’s not what they are. They are…our version of the dying tree. The tree dying faster than the trees around it, for no apparent reason. Just a thought 😊. Love the show!
This man has spent his life trying and succeeding in bringing science into the homes of the world. I love his passion and can't stand people that write him off because hes passionate about finishing his thoughts on podcasts. Dude is legendary
Tragically, during an era when half of the population seems to have decided that "science is dumb". Social media's just slaughtering the brain cells of civilization. Thankfully, there are bright spots like this series.
This was an unexpected delight.
I love it when a host just lets Tyson do him. Tyson is at heart an entertainer but his brain is too smart for that.
I keep coming back to this. You both are so wonderful. Stay crispy 💙
You 2 guys could have a show together good chemistry 😂 awesome Ep Pete! 👌🏿 👏🏿
Watching two experts in their fields shoot the breeze and make pretty damn good and humbling comparison is amazing 🍻
During much of the conversation I was reminded of Albert Schweitzer's Reverence for Life: "Reverence for Life says that the only thing we are really sure of is that we live and want to go on living. This is something that we share with everything else that lives, from elephants to blades of grass-and, of course, every human being. So we are brothers and sisters to all living things, and owe to all of them the same care and respect, that we wish for ourselves."
It's something I've tried to live by ever since hearing on... The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, season 1, episode 6, "Congo, January, 1917", starring Sean Patrick Flanery, air date April 8 1992.
I'd give it a 92% out of 100.
It was a Laurel and Hardy sketch with the piano not Abbot and Costello.
being that it was right near the end, I started scrolling for somebody who might've pointed that out because I didn't wanna be that guy and it's not that wild a substitution
Woahhh didn't see this guest coming nice job Pete and the YMIW team though!
OMG this was fantastic and delightful, I can't even...they conversed so well together (entertaining & educational, nutritious & delicious). Worth watching right through to the end, incl. how he customized ;) the pod's catchphrase.
Yay! Two of my favourite people! Neil Degrasse Tyson is also ok.
a chicken evolving from a dinosaur explains so much about survival of the fittest
What a fun episode, I had no idea Neil was such a comedy fan.
Both individuals at their best. Great pod!
Is this the guy who fired all the X-Men??
I remember ALL those "last time" moments with my kids. It breaks my heart completely.
Over 20k Views, less than 1k Likes at the time of this comment. What a shame. Like & Share People! Great Ep Pete. Thank You Neil! My personal astrophysicist.
These two together: pure joy
My mind was blown quite a few times watching this 😂 I love it
Rarely do I watch a podcast, that by the end do I feel like I stuffed myself at Thanksgiving dinner, and bask in the satisfaction.
Salt, milk and honey are not the only examples, I think we can add saps and resins (maple syrup), Cactus sugars (Nopal cactus pads ), and gum from acacia trees... Not something I would want to live off but each to there own
One of the best Keep it Crispy’s to date
Neil's new book is a must..!! Soooo good..!!
this was great stuff thanks
Looking at the comments. I don't think NDT is an egomaniac or rude. I think he's just a genius.
1:54:00 but how do we know that what we don’t know is 96% of everything? If we don’t know what it is can we be sure of how much of it is there?
Great show, thanks
Neil on Theo Von's pc, was EPIC af...so this should be BRILLIANT..!!
I believe Neil had such a HOOT on there, cause he appreciated the brutal honesty...and Pete here, is the gawd of wit...so forgeddaboutit..!!
xD
Great show in Houston Pete!
Pete?! You need to learn about Father Guido Sarducci!
A regular on SNL in the first few seasons
I love Neil Degrasse Tyson n this was a great interview ❤
Instead of "Getting Rid of the molecules to create a vacuum", focus on the space between the molecules. What makes that geometric shape unique? Does it relate to electricity at all?
Clicked so fast when I saw the guest name!
In general you can tell the difference between a boy and girl by physical attributes.
Best episode ever.
How were eggs not included in his whole "milk and honey" theory? Nothing has to die to get a chicken egg... truly in this case because taking milk from a cow is taking milk away from a baby cow and likely a lot of dead baby cows in the dairy industrial complex. I am a little disappointed that Pete didn't provide better defense for veganism. Animal exploitation and suffering are a large, if not the largest part of veganism. Neil clearly just seems defensive about the food he eats. Why can't some people admit the climate science, the animal suffering, the exploitation and just say "I just still want to eat meat because it tastes good and makes me feel good and I don't want to go through the trouble of changing" why not? When "intelligent" people can't absorb all the facts and admit those things I have a difficult time trusting any other conclusion they may reach. That was just a really bad start for the whole conversation - I didn't trust Pete to challenge him at the end when it got to spirituality questions when he totally caved on the vegan comments.
The life inside the egg dies. He was making more of a philosophical point about life & death with food than a specific point about our food industry. Unfortunately, the questions that should have been brought up with regards to dietary ethics with regards to our current food industry were not (i.e. torture, climate change, pandemic risk, etc.). But it was still an interesting conversation to have.
@@joeb588 The chicken eggs we eat are unfertilized, so I guess you could say "potential life" but for the point Neil was making I think it fits the criteria. But I understand he was just pointing to one aspect of the debate but my point seems consistent with Neil's comments on being vegan/vegetarian - he seems pretty dismissive. I know Pete isn't as vegan as he once was, at least he doesn't talk about it much, but it just seemed strange for him to gloss over the comments is all.
Not to mention the massive environmental degradation from animal agriculture, a bigger driver of climate change than transportation. Surely Neal must care about that, if the suffering of the animals is off his radar... I honestly don't get it, he's supposed to be a thoughtful human
I don’t like plants they are disgusting and I’m not gonna change. I will ALWAYS eat meat. It’s terrible what happens to many of those animals, but it is what it is. I’m a meat eater. Veganism is terrible for animal life, they KILL everything living besides the plants while farming those plants. EVERYTHING dies! Plus plants are alive too, and new studies show that they may in fact be sentient. They can see and perceive what color your shirt is. They can hear, and feel. So no matter what we have to “kill” to survive. I wish I could single handedly give these animals a good life until they meet their maker and become food.
Bruh… an egg is literally a baby chicken embryo
I love dude fr amazing guest
pete youre the best - i love your vibe!
amazing ep
Banger episode.
Excellent Pete. Amazing. ❤
I was getting a rash waiting for the fish-on-Europa three-levels-deep-tangent punchline NEIL
Best episode ever
Side with the Trees!
I gotta meet this Dean kid!
Okay, I can't get through this. But, I'm curious about the milk and honey thing - apparently NDT has said that milk and honey are the most ethical foods to eat because no living thing has to die for them? But, anyone who knows anything about the dairy industry would know that's demonstrably false?!
Love you, Pete. Glad you seemed to enjoy this. I might just watch the (amazing) Rory Scovel episode again.
He wasn’t saying that no living things die for them, he was saying they’re the only foods that don’t require death. So it was more of a philosophical point about life & death with food than a point about our food industry.
Yeah dairy cows are sent to slaughter. He’s so wrong it’s ridiculous lol 😳
This seriously irritated the hell out of me. Maybe 1% of people have had dairy that wasn't directly linked to the death of the offspring and the milked cow. Saying milk does not involve killing is philosophically feasible, but has nothing to do at all with the reality of dairy production in the US or Europe...
Why does this end?
one time I took enough shrooms to realize that im gonna become a tree when I die
if space is a vacuum thats ever expanding how does it makes sure to have the proper amount of suction
lol it doesn’t have suction. It’s not a vacuum cleaner just sucking up everything. Space is just almost empty of matter. Barely any molecules, and pressure is so low it’s almost nonexistent.
50:58. My 1st grade class took a field trip to a slaughter house.
I’m plant based because I couldn’t raise and kill an animal. I can stomach raising and killing plants. It’s not that deep. Has Neal killed a cow or just watched it on TV?
His takes on veganism were pure hot garbage...
I would love to see Tyson on an apologetics podcast. The claim that he's evidence driven and then goes on with multiple faith statements about science is hilarious
Love Neil!
I hope Pete can find this.
Here's my story its long but it worth reading
Science can never explain why I experienced the presence of a ghost/entity/alien/higher dimention interaction
I'm a sane person with pretty good scientific background and an unending itch to know more about universe math and physics
I experienced the presence of a ghost
I was not on drugs or meds, and had no childhood trauma, no mental sickness, I was not drunk, I was fully aware and awake 100% and I was with a friend and everything that I was seeing he was seeing too
The ghost was moving the ceiling lamp and there was no earth quake or wind and windows were closed and well shut, switching on the lamp, and the switch was on our line of sight and that room had only and only one switch, making noise by hiting the walls, throwing an object in a room were there was no wind, the object was thrown like someone had kicked it, there was no way that object could travel that far without receiving a good amount of force
It was a fabric Dice bigger than a standard rubics cube it was on a shelf 15 20 inches from the ground and it was kicked 5 feet in front of me in a room with only two people and it was not my friend
it didn't fall it was kicked,
That night I learned those entities can only hit or kick with relatively small force they can't hold anything
They also might get more physical power where you are aware of them or scared of them
We both saw it years ago and this happened many times not once or twice
Just like movies
There is an afterlife or some sort of higher dimentions, Its not my belief its my direct observation and direct experience, I dont need to prove singularity at the center of a blackhole when I've been there...
Hope Pete reads this and never stop searching because nothing makes Fing sense
You should get Stephen C Meyer on the show.
Or at least read his books. They're right up your alley.
I pick up my kids every chance I get...
2-3 at a time... I'm terrified of my last time...
my mantra is now the word ecological
CIA has something to say about the quiet lineages
How does Neil not realize that vegetarianism is about suffering? I love him but it's like he's being utterly willfully ignorant on that point
@lopez It seemed more to me like he was saying it's absurd to not eat meat because you're killing a plant when you eat it
His point seems to boil down to "mmmm bacon" and nothing even vaguely more nuanced than that. On this topic, he is not worthy to tie Pete Singer's shoes...
Came here to say this. It's about suffering and killing LESS. Yeah vegetarians still live in houses. Wow. Mind blown. But so do meat eaters. Vegetarians are still killing and torturing less sentient beings. That's the point.
#Fantastic
Phenomenal, Pete.
Pete Holmes is averaging about 25 "mmm's" per minute
So great - could be a series. CZcams ads every 2 minutes are driving me insane however
❤
Oh hell yeah
its may 4th and I just wanna say Yoda is miss piggy
Pete didn't need to mention anybody's name at all, but I have said my whole life that Taylor Swift is the Ham and Cheese sandwich of the pop world
Pop is the ham and cheese sandwich of the music world.
Pete reminds me of John Ritter
If life made any sense, this episode would have gotten 1 billion views.
AMAZING FUCKING PODCAST
Note to self: NEVER say anything about "god" to NDT! I'd never seen the dude so frustrated/upset before.
Yeah, he spent the last 20 minute’s aggressively missing the point Pete was making.
The mouse analogy is flaud :) You can say that about humans too right? Anyway, with the mouse it is all about coexistance. I have TRIED to live with the mice, but they shit in all the wrong places, they gnaw on the wrong things and eat your food. I love rodants and respect them as intelligent beings, but it is almost never sustainable to try to live with them (at least the wild varieties :) ). So. Either they´ll have to make it in the wild, or the cat eat them. Life is hard.
i just want to be a cat today
Pete, are Dean's parents aware you've been discussing their child on the internet with Neil DeGrasse Tyson? As a parent, this is something I'd like to know.
the people that retain the most information have an argument with the king of the world that theyre gonna win if they can just get in the room with him
I like the Question to Neil of "Does Nothing Exist". Terrance Howard offers information that explains how the creation of anti-matter is not needed and is due to the fundamental misconception of having straight lines in Nature. czcams.com/video/g197xdRZsW0/video.html
best episode.
this guy is kinda smart lol
NDT has an enormous self-righteous ego and wants to shove his arrogant opinions down others. I eat meat but his whole narrative on why it's better to eat animals sounds made up to justify his own diet and cognitive dissonance. Eating plants is not the same as animals, it's about minimizing suffering because we can empathize with animals, plants are alive but less sentient than living beings. Just because the ecological footprint of a human is large, doesn't mean we should eat a bucket of chicken a day and maximize suffering onto other beings.
Harvey Dent, can we trust him?
Neil is slumming it with Pete. 🤣😁
Skete Bones
Great conversation and good interaction with feedback on each topics, being A Fan of NDT on his Astrophysics knowledge, he let down Evolutionary biology by saying chromosomes don't matter on your objective reality of being a Man or Women because society wants us to be this or that. Feelings don't matter in science facts do, Richard Dawkins confirms 2 sexes and feeling this or that can be subjective but you cannot change your objective reality.
I live entirely off Milk and Honey...
well and Bread... Cheese...
I won't say no to some veal Schnitzel...
if the universe is a simulation go buy a simulated joint and listen to simulated Allen Toussaint
The whole honey and milk thing blew my fucking mind
