Neil deGrasse Tyson | This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von #420

It's like the funny kid who sat in the back of class sat down and had a convo with the teacher lmao love it

Theo's brain never ceases to come up with analogies that have no business making as much sense as they do

Hearing Neil laugh from Theo’s quick witty comments is everything I needed today. Wholesome af

41:10 is super wholesome. They were reassuring eachother about the conversation. Super super heart warming. Neil felt his insecurity, and immediately reassured him, and Theo felt that energy and immediately gave that back to him. So sweet ❤

Asking Neil if outer space is gay or straight is probably one of the funniest things Theo has ever said 😂

Neil's positive validation of Theo's character and uniqueness made me so happy

I fell asleep and had a dream while watching this, I could still hear the audio in my dream and Neil was a worker at this science place and my grade school class was taking a field trip and Theo was my friend sitting next to me😂

I like how Theo introduces guests, checks out their book prior to the podcast, etc. he’s a goofy dude but he’s really respectful and considerate.

Theo very quietly saying “gang” when Neil was talking about plagues and mentioned rats is an underrated moment from this episode

Neil - "I'm old enough to remember, if you eat yogurt you'll live forever" Theo - I remember mum eating yogurt and I was like damn mum's gon be around 😂😂😂

It is almost year since this came out. We need another episode with Neil! Bring it, Theo!

One of the greatest conversations of all time.

this pod and Neil's appearance on JRE are night and day. the JRE one felt like a jock getting tutored, and this one feels like the stoner kid vibing with his teacher. would love more of this duo

These two are the perfect combination. They should do an ongoing show.

I think Theo is one of the few people that can make Niel laugh!!😂

26:59 that sounded really weird without the visuals. It sounds like Neil Laughs from a distance and just magically appears back to the mic

The chemistry between these 2 is astronomical.

Theo’s tendency to start a question without knowing what the question is and to just get to it somewhere along the way was in overdrive here....

Neil’s comment on the educational system failing to inspire kids to want to learn is unbearably true. I only had about 5 teachers that I actually liked learning from. All the others either just gave us homework none of us wanted to do, or didn’t bother making lessons interesting in any meaningful way. Teachers have to have an undying passion for teaching. You have to want to inspire kids to be fascinated by our world and how things work. But most just can’t do that unfortunately. The way Neil talks about science and physics and philosophy with a tone of curiosity goes a long way with keeping one’s attention. If he was my college professor, I could listen to him lecture for hours. Teachers that find information they currently know fascinating helps garner interest in the long term in my eyes.
