Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson – Matteo Lane & Nick Smith – I Never Liked You 96
We sat down with Neil deGrasse Tyson to finally ask the important questions — like what’s really going on with Pluto. Neil tries to teach Nick science (a journey), Matteo attempts to keep things on track, and somehow we still end up laughing the whole time.

This is the mark of a master educator. He meets you where you are and invites you to walk from a to b

Wait did my personal algorithm do this? I’ve never laughed so hard and learned so hard at the same time. Chuck Nice would’ve felt like a genius in the room. 😂😂😂😂😂

I absolutely love this episode! Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson is a very personable, smart, and engaging person – not to mention hilarious!
I live in Kansas and grew up just about 20 minutes away from the town that Clyde Tombaugh moved to when he was in high school. My husband is from there and they have a little putt putt golf course that is dedicated to Pluto.

It IS insane that he there, but kudos to him for doing it. He is a PLANETARY TREASURE! Act accordingly.

If Matteo is truly Nick's friend, Matteo wouldn't be so cruel and unrelenting at puting Nick down. Matteo is a stand up comedian, not a surgeon.

This should happen once a year! Different scientific topics each time.

This may be my most favorite astrophysics lesson. All science needs to be taught in conjunction with two gay comics.

I came here as a Niel fan who watches StarTalk and almost every podcast he goes onto. Most of us feel like Nick while we watch StarTalk! Curiosity and acceptance of facts are the two most important things to have intellectually, so you’re doing great Nick! Mateo is too hard on him 😂 Loved this episode ❤

So… If Ceres was upgraded to a dwarf planet, shouldn't the name have been changed to Demeter?

Honestly, even though I love how Matteo roasts Nick I seriously loved how patient Neil was with Nick's questions. I know the bit is "Nick is ignorant" and that's funny to an extent, but Nick had some really good questions. I appreciate that Neil gave him encouragement and addressed everything he asked about 😊 I don't think Nick is dumb. He just needs the right teacher.

Neil calling Nick a fast learner is such a beautiful compliment, followed by Nick saying “the one that killed the dinosaurs” is prime

Dr. Tyson clearly didn't think much of Matteo and but took a shine to Nick, who is very intellectually curious. Matteo, on the other hand, just loves attention lol.

So excited this showed up on the same day my 6 yo granddaughter showed me her library book about stars by Neil Degrasse Tyson. I can’t wait to introduce her to more of him.
